About me

I have build and -off course- played with armor when i was a kid. Kits were assembled using a hot-glue gun, and NO paint. I started modeling again when i was 32 and got a kit as a present during the winter of 2007. It was a Yakovlev Yak-11 in 1:72. Since then i am hooked. I went rather quickly from aircraft to military vehicles of the WW2 era. I concentrate mainly on axis vehicles. I went from 1:72 to 1:35, but i now build in both scales. I quickly discovered scratchbuilding. I found it really fun to build something that was not available as an (aftermarket) kit, or (more often!) too expensive for me. I started with an Alkett Minenraumer which i still haven’t finished :(

I don’t have an airbrush, so my continuing mission is to find ways to do camouflage without an airbrush! If you have any tips, do tell me!!

      Hey thanks!
      This guy does have an interesting approach to camo’s, have to try that sometimes. His scratchbuilding is amazing as well! Thanks for the link.
