Assembling and painting figures and vehicles that is something I have done for almost all my life .Together with a friend we started a modeling club back in 1970.( It still exists "Hobby Time Brugge") There were no TS around in those days only a few plastic kits from Tamiya, Monogram, Revell and Italirei. So we had to make everything ourselves if we wanted to put our plastic figures in a diorama ;That's were I've got all my skills which I use today for making dios with TS. Later I switchedover to metal of which I have over 600 hand painted figures in my collection. Only a few years ago I discovered TS. I saw the possibilities of doing something with TS that most of the collectors don't do; bring them to life in a dio. I still repaint my figures and most of the vehicles I use in my dios are repainted or at least wheathered. There has been an article about my collecting carreer and explaining all that in the K&C collectors magazine N°25. I add a few pictures of very early dios and metal soldiers in my collection

Thank you for telling us your modeller story, I think many collectors are interested in knowing this; now I understand.And now, you make a mix of modeller-dio maker- collector, and the result is top quality figures and dios.
