On the road to Bonn

Ivan is coming - Heeresgruppe Weichsel

This diorama represent an hypothetic scene during the final weeks of the war on the Eastern Front now developing in the Battle for the Home Land..a command post of a Kampfgruppe, a hastily assembled piecemeal of almost disbanded units try to hold the advance of Red Army forces. Hetzer is the same kit of "Counterattack" diorama, developed from the one of ESCI/ITALERI, retrofitted to "Early" variant of Jagdpanzer 38(t).

Winter Panther

This is a cross-kit between the old Hasegawa (hull) and the newest Dragon Panther (turret; tracks) Tank is in a full winter camouflage in the final months of war in Europe; I was suggested from various pictures in Concord volume on Panther.

Counterattack - Romania 1944

This was my first diorama; it represents a counterattack of Jagdpanzer 38(t) belonging to 22th SS division "Florian Geyer" in a Romanian town supported by Panzer-grenadiers. Today it looks to me a little primitive and raw..but I love it

S. Giovanni Incarico

This is a diorama built for a friend some years ago. It's inspired to a famous picture taken during the decisive american breakthrough towards Rome in May-June 1944. The model of a late Panther D (or a first batch of production model A) it's the old but for some ways better ESCI/ITALERI kit with "zimmerit" made from electrically-warmed X-Acto blade. Jeep it's the superb Heller/Airfix kit and soldiers and animals are from Preiser and Calibre 72

Relief Force

These are pictures from my latest work. A diorama inspired to the tank battles near lake Balaton. The StuH 42 is an old ESCI upgraded with Photo etched parts and Dragon components (wheels, drive sprocket and idler wheel); the Stug is from Revell with Part photo etched components. Tatra staff car is from Attack and the Marder III M is scratch built from a Pz. 38(t) from ATTACK. The soldiers are from Preiser, Warrior and Dragon.
