Hauptmann, Infantry Regiment 516, Stalingrad, 1942

This a work in progress of another Stalingrad themed subject. The figure is a 3D print from H3 Models (HS35052) fitted with a spare head from Panzerart. The backdrop is composed with a flight of stairs taken from Miniart Models pedestrian bridge set attached to a  brick wall section from Hero Hobby Kits. As one can see, adding steps to your backdrop can indeed level up your presentation 😬.

IDF 7th Armoured Brigade, Valley of Tears, Yom Kippur 1973

Last week, my Canon EOS 650D gave up on me and gave me a good reason to trade it in with the local Canon dealership to get a discount on the new Canon EOS R8 camera. 

I took some test shots with the EOS R8 on one of my personal favorite projects and I am no doubt very impressed with the colours and the  degree of sharpness of the image.

Alpine Miniatures - III/SS-PzGren-Rgt 2, Ardennes, 1944

During the past week, I found myself refurbishing an old Alpine Miniatures boxart completed back in 2010 with some additions to the groundwork and minor touch ups for the figures. 








I got into some creative mischief with the oil drums by toppling them over the edge of the base; "break the fourth wall" so to speak and adding some levity to the scene.

Private, 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division, Holland, 1944

This figure is a retrospective piece completed back in 1998. It is a 1/35 scale plastic stock figure from Dragon Models with some minor enhancements like the face, hands and equipment details. It was cast aside for a long time until today when I decided to refurbish the paint work and snap some new photos.
