    Why an L/48 short barrel and not the L/70 long barrel? The short barrel was a stop gap until the long barrel could be brought into production. It would be more appropriate for earlier in 1944 with Zimmerit. It's a fantastic looking model, but at current prices it needs to nail it. I can't find...

    Ostfront 1944

    Thanks Louis, those guys are awesome. It's an honor to be mentioned in the same league as those guys. They certainly inspired me. You'd laugh if you saw the tweaking of white balance of sky and foreground. I'm learning to use my new Nikon Z7 II mirrorless. I find the 20mm prime is doing the...

    Battle of the Bulge 1944-45

    It's so sad how few American figures have been released. I get that it comes down to sales.

    Panzer Spitze

    Thanks for all the kind words. This wouldn't have been possible without the other members of the team, they are true artists. I've been wanting to do something with a water feature for awhile as it adds interest to scenes and the reflectivity can be leveraged artistically in pictures. We are...

    Creek crossing Autumn scene

    Once the glue dried we removed the loose litter with the hand vacuum. The process is repeated. The tree bases we created blend well That’s pretty much it. We’ll tinker for a few more days with detailing and then I should be able to setup some scenes.

    FL Normandy Germans??

    I agree, this is my favorite too. The animation is great, the gear is interesting and well done, the figure is super versatile for scenes. I picked up this one, the radioman, the sniper, and the kneeling NCO.
