On the bench #6
…and then we’re only two weeks and a bit until Christmas and I can only wonder where this year went? The last couple of weeks, or more like six weeks, I’ve been having a really annoying cold that’s been coming and going without ever really breaking out which has affected my eyes and made modelling harder and tiresome. Tirered eyes that is and it makes concentrating on small details hard, which isn’t great...
Scale model catalogues – new feature!
I don’t know about you but I often visit the manufacturers websites looking for new kits or just wanting to browse their whole catalogue finding models for a build only to discover that they haven’t updated their websites in ages – and you still have no clue if they have that German StuG you were looking for or just the inspiration you were looking for…? I know you can head over to scalemates.com and search...
On the bench #5

The last couple of weeks I’ve been planning what to do next year in modelling.

Schwerer Gustav railway gun
Yes, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve bought the Hobby Boss Dora #82911 1/72 railway gun and it’s going to be built as the Schwerer Gustav. I’ve been looking at this model, and the 1/35 scale version, since the beginning of the summer almost every day. The 1/35 scale version is just too big, and possibly also too expensive, to build and put somewhere, but in 1/72 scale it’s a whole different thing. It’s...
Entwicklungs-fahrzeug Sammlung
Background This is the bonkers of all bonkers projects – the Entwicklungsfahrzeug Sammlung; a complete lineup of all E-series tanks and variants in 1/35 scale!!! But all these tanks are fictional so how, why and what to base it on then? Well, there have been more than a few pure fictional E-tanks throughout the years stemming from computer games, images and fictional scratch building. I’m going to base...
Incoming models for review 12.11.18
Incoming kits, models and products for review – now that the postal service seems to work again… After having major issues with Post Nord in Sweden things now seems to work again, but it required a lot of registered complaints and legal action… The money I lost from having to pay double shipping costs on many packages that were simply returned instead of delivered was impossible to claim back. Apparently mail in 2017...
