Airacobra

I was really distraught when I realised I actually LOST my ditched Zero Diorama. I just don’t know what I did of it. I’m pretty sure I had it when unpacking from last year’s SMC but then it disappeared. So since I was discussing with an old friend about how I was dissatisfied with lots

Dauberville

Taking in the face the stupidity of the average YouTuber or Tiktoker thanks to the high cultural level of my sons, I wouldn’t have bet on me finding at least one trace of beauty in the works of one of this sad posse. But that Dauberville woman (@victoriadauberville) really got me. Here she is dancing

Tending Memories

That one is a 1900s version of that social media cliché « Not everyone you lose is a loss unless it’s me, then you fuck up »

Chuguchak

Thanks to those following my step by step as stories on Facebook and Instagram! The motorbike is the recent @akinteractive.official cg125. My apologies to my Chinese / Chinese speaking friends as I was pointed out that some of the characters written were completely off. So with the help of a friend, I ripped them of

T9114

I’m back with soviet era locomotives, the 2 T9114 are on the far right first row, the #TrM46 is the red one at the center and all the others are #T93. Those are late 50s to mid 70s rolling stock, all dispatched in the former republics of the empire. Despite a few small mistakes, those

Ruins

Dedicated to someone who didn’t have worthy holidays in a long time.. Plaster and resin and homemade fig. Those are roman ruins of course. I found the inspiration by looking at an Instagram reel whose owner I sadly didn’t note. I think it is in a lake more than in the sea. At least I

Zero

My own take on that lame modeling cliché: the ditched plane 1/72 Tamiya Zero

1/35 Berlin Ubahn Tierpark diorama

Tierpark

This one was basically inspired by the backrooms aesthetics, I find that repetititive universe pretty cool  for a variety of reasons. I mixed that with the beautiful pictures made by photographer @hangschlitt  in various undergrounds in the world but especially the Berlin Ubahn. The electric colours, the flashy yellow and greens, the 1960s look about
