How many of us history buffs have not dreamt of finding leftovers from past times, finding ourselves in deep thought, travelling back in time when visiting a historic site, and daydreaming about the olden days while walking through a forest? I have made a little diorama of one of these daydreams. A hidden treasure in the forest, a place I would love to stumble across.

This week, the 4th March it will be 85 years since the Allied commando raid on the german occupied Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway. In the early hours the 4th of March four landings from the sea were made. The goal of the raids were to destroy german infrastructure, fish- and paraffin factories and any shipping connected to the germans.

I like using a war relic as a base when i am making a miniature diorama. I have built dioramas on large grenade fragments, shell casings, rifle casings, boxes, coils of barbed wire, plus lots of other bits, and I am always trying to fit the scene and its landscape to the story of the relic.

I spent much of my spare time there bunker crawling in some of the countless installations the germans littered the area with during their occupation, and since I have been interested in WW2 since childhood I guess it counts as a semi self biographical diorama.

One day I saw photos taken of some of the camps during the liberation, and knew that I had to make a 1/35 scale miniature of a specific camp at some point. I didn`t have the space or economy to undertake such a project at the time, so instead I decided to construct a watchtower and section of the fence.

When my passion for metal detecting and relics merges with my other passion, miniature modelling, the result can be things like these helmet dioramas. I think it is very fun to create small scenes from the particular battlefield the helmet was found, trying to catch a glimpse of the past.

Here are the perfect WW2 themed gifts for yourself, a history nerd, a collector friend who has it all or anyone else you tolerate

I wanted to make a diorama showing an example of those wooden shelters somewhere on the Eastern front.

A little while ago I recieved an email from the company I had my website with since 2013. They were gonna increase the annual price by a

After many evenings sanding plastic parts, gluing bits together, painting, swearing and repainting, this project is finally done.

Recently I completed painting this gem of a figure. It is 120mm and from the portugese manufacturer RPModels.

I completed this miniature project this morning. A panzertruppe radio operator in scale 1/10. Produced by SabotMiniatures.

A while ago I was browsing the web for some miniature stuff I needed, and came across these very tiny models of tanks and buildings,

The latest workbench project is finally completed. A little bit different from my usual WW2 themes this time.
