Amazing modeller who does excellent work. He has opened a site where he posts his work and even that of other members of the World War Two Zone forums (I believe Dave has a link to them in our links page)

Here is a very nice and complex set of models - Stalingrad 1942

Amazing Detail... You should check out Luft's 82nd Ambush scene. Lots of hidden messages and symbols.

Only three things strike me as odd in that Stalingrad though. The top of the Russian tank is too clean even for something freshly whitewashed. And the uniforms are too "bright" (as in no weathering to wear them out as well as bring out the folds in the plastic) and not all blood on a uniform is always red. Just like fatigues in Vietnam made people bleed "green", it would soak through as a darker fabric color with whatever was on top and pooling red.

STill though his terrain work is phenomenal!

Can't believe I just stared at this and it never clicked... I must be slipping: Tigers and T-34/85s are Anachronisms in Stalingrad as are all the camo patterns and jackets that the Germans are wearing... This guy didn't do much research in those terms.

The International Plastic Modeler's Society (IPMS) has shows and galleries constantly, some of their best of shows and categories are AMAZING!
