Vignettes – a how to guide by Joaquin Garcia Gázquez
This book was the first book I bought about vignettes and dioramas and it was initially only released in Spanish, but it’s now available in English too and it’s a fantastic book for both the absolute beginner – but also for the seasoned modeller. It goes through the “mathematical formulas” of angles – which I didn’t think of at all when I built my first vignette, although I was lucky with the...
Meng Panther Ausf. A Late 1/35
Panther Ausf. A Late German Medium Tank Sd.Kfz.171 Meng – Nr. TS-035 – 1:35 2018 is the year of the Panther. Not the Chinese calendar but the modelling calendar! 😉 Jokes aside, there are many Panthers just being released and many of them are very high quality so this “German tank guy” is more than pleased! The last Panther I built was the old 70’s Tamiya Panther that passed its best before date not long...
Trumpeter E-25 1/35
German Entwicklungsfahrzeug E-25 Development Vehicle E-25 Trumpeter – Nr. 00383 – 1:35 Entwicklung, or the E-series, was a line of proposed standard tanks in order to focus on standardised components and where new model could me build with already proven parts like generic suspension etc. Recently there’s been a lot of talk about the Entwicklung range as what would have been the next step for the German tank...
Amusing Hobby Jagdpanther II 1/35
Jagdpanther II German Tank Destroyer Jagdpanther II Amusing Hobby – Nr. 35A011 – 1:35 The Jagdpanther II is a pure fictional tank, or tank destroyer, as the Panther II was cancelled in favour of the E-50 Standardpanzer, but if the Panther II had been made it is only logical that there would’ve been a Jagdpanther II as well – and it was proposed by Krupp engineers. In November of 1944, a project...
Takom Mk.IV Male/Female 1/35
Mk.IV WWI Heavy Battle Tank Mk.IV Male/Female 2 in 1 Takom – No. 2076 – 1/35 Although I’m deeply interested in German WWII tanks and armoured vehicles, recently I bought this Takom WWI Mk.IV kit to try something new, something outside my comfort zone and to widen my knowledge and this I’m happy about now because not only was this a pleasant build – it had such fascinating history behind it too! It all...
Italeri SR-71 Blackbird 1/72
SR-71 Blackbird Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird Italeri – No.145 – 1/72 One of the most exciting air planes ever built is the Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird and very few come even close to the achievements that were made with this masterpiece of engineering – not just whilst flying it but designing and building it! This was done before we had computers and those responsible for the design truly knew what they were...
