Today it is one year ago that I started with this blog. In the meantime more than 600 people stopped and took a look. So I have to say thanks for taking a look at my blog.
As I saw that a lot of the first posts no longer work, I'm in the process to update them all. I hope I will be able to find all the original pictures I had posted before.

Hetzer on the hunt
I found some nice cases, perfectly to build a small diorama for one or two tanks.
So I put as a foundation, a small piece of foam inside and together with some small trees and a bit of grass and mud the diorama is done.
For the first impression take a look at the picture.

Weekend Pleasure in 1:144
Here two pictures of a Mini-Diorama I built the last weekend.
Nothing
special, just something you can use to take a picture of a small tank or truck.
The
foundation is made out of plaster of Paris; the rest is from what I had on my
workbench.
The frame
is one of those small picture frames you can buy for some dollars.
So at the
end you get a small diorama for less than USD 5.

Puma-Meeting Somewhere in France in 1944
Once I received my own Pumas from the Panzer Depot, I
knew that I needed to build a diorama. Nearly at the same time I got the first
German tank crew from German company, Preiser.
So my idea was to build a scene somewhere in France.
The Pumas would meet with their commander to get new orders. As a foundation, I
decided to go with a wooden picture frame from the big “I”.
The ground is a piece of Styrodur or better kwon in
the USA as blue foam. I shaped the terrain with several tools until I had the
feeling it would work. The meeting point was a kind of an intersection of two
small roads.
I pained everything with brown color, before I clued
the grass and the sand on it. For the road I went with some dirty powder I took
from a road not far where I live.

German fortification somewhere in Italy
Here I will
show you a picture of one of my dioramas I left in Switzerland.
The diorama is complete made out of foam. The dimensions of the bunker are based on other bunkers I have and on some drawings I found on the Internet.
While it is
very well known that the Germans built Bunkers in France (Atlantic wall), in Denmark,
the Nederland and in Germany itself, it is not so well known, that they built a
lot of Bunkers in Italy.
Besides the
Gustav line or the Hitler line, which were more field fortifications, the
Germany had strong bunkers on different locations.
The diorama is complete made out of foam. The dimensions of the bunker are based on other bunkers I have and on some drawings I found on the Internet.
