Frozen Cover

Here's a little something I did recently for a little exercise in melting snow and ice.

The Miniart BA-64 is tiny kit that falls together fairly easily and the figures are Dragon with a few little tweaks. Anyway, here's a few pictures of what it looks like.

Accurate Armour Fox

Here's a couple photos of my latest completion, one of a couple BAOR subjects I have been working on. It was a fairly quick build with very little fuss and no major hurdles. This model was based on a few photos in a Tankograd book showing the Fox in a similar manner.

I'll be posting another BAOR subject soon as it's nearly complete. It's not quite as cool as the Fox, but it's a neat little oddity that caught my eye.

After that, I'm going back to WWII for a while, at least that's the plan.

Enjoy

Scale Modeling

The childhood hobby that followed me into adulthood. The dream I once had about being published in those dog eared magazines I spent my rainy days thumbing through long realized, I find myself seeking the simplicity of the hobby I once had as a child.

This is my place to do that, my quiet little corner of the web where I can just unwind with my imagination and find oneself as while simultaneously losing oneself. My bench is my escape, from reality and weight of the world with it's drama and deadlines. Adding that aspect into ones hobby can make it that much less enjoyable. Imagine sitting down at your bench and having your boss demand things from you and your annoying coworker chewing his banana with with his mouth open in your ear.

It's a hobby. It's not life. Enjoy it how ever you like, be it out of the box or rivet counting. Don't let anyone tell you any different, and allow them the same leeway in their endeavor. Build how you like, like how you build.
