When collecting a force I especially like the models which are very typical and special for the force I paint. The hungarian army fielded some very individual models, one of them is the Nimrod, although it is an original swedish design built in licence in Hungary. However there the unique hungarian mixture is very interesting, therefore I startet with the Flak tank. Having airbrushed the hungarian Stukas gave me the skills to airbrush these tiny tank models. They came out …
My gaming club is currently preparing for a participation game at the annual german wargaming convention Tactica in Hamburg next year. We are going to present a Great War gaming table depicting the so called Kaiserschlacht in 1918. We preparing a 28mm gaming table showing a trench which is manned by the Ulster Division and attacked by the 6th bavarian Sturmregiment. I decided to paint miniatures and vignettes for this project. Therefore I am working on color schemes and dirt, …
I would like to share some pictures I made in the Hungarian National Military Museum (Hadtörténeti Múzeum) in Budapest. I visit the museum on a regular basis since my wife is from Budapest and we visit this beautiful town often. The museum is one of my favourite places there. The presentation is a little bit old fashioned, but you get quite a lot of information about all epoches of hungarian warfare. The second world war is looked at in four …
Emezek vannak az új magyar Stukamak. These are my new hungarian Stukas. The Ju 87 D Models again come from armaments in miniature. This was my second attempt to paint aircraft so I made a lot of mistakes and now I know much more about how to airbrush 1:100 models. First of all I will paint the parts separately in the future. Moreover I need to think about a way to add a handle for painting the model. I tried …
Now I am very close to have a finished army, although this blog has a different name. The Fallschirmjägerpioniere will only be followed by one complete platoon and maybe another 6 flamethrower teams. For sure there is one single option more which could be added after I model a light mortar team which is the mountain gun platoon. The values were changed in North Africa so the Fallschirmjäger artillery is now an option worth painting. However I am very pleased …

Two years ago I bought from Ebob this two houses for my Rebellion gaming table. Have a look! 😉 The big cottage and some English soldiers The main building The tool shed The small building The buildings are made of some foam. The only thing you have to do is to paint it properly and flock it with some gras and foliage. I plan to add a vegetable garden in the small yard of the big building and maybe some …
I just made some photos of my new Tunesian Village for Flames of War and want to share them with you. The complete village Some small buildings A two-storied building with a courtyard and small building with a dome Another two-storied building A mosque I bought the models 2007 on the Salute Convention from Kerr & King. Assembling the models was very easy. You only need some glue and a bit putty for some gaps. The modelkits allow you to …
Playing the United Kingdom for years now I finally started to build a new axis Flames of War army. To have an ideal opponent for my british forces painted for the italian theatre I have chosen a Fallschirmjägerkompanie. I start to show you my efforts with a heavy Fallschirmjäger MG Platoon although the first platoon to be painted was a Fallschirmjäger Platoon. Usually playing a british Motor company I just could not imagine that the germans have more than 6 …
