Hi All!

On behalf of Thomas Schröeder, I have published a Feature with the work of this excellent Gentleman and very talented german modeler...

Perhaps in a near future, Thomas will be a part of MSW



Enjoy

Rui,
She's a little GEM! Absolutely beautiful!
I really like that scheme.
The pen next to it really makes you appreciate how small it is.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Totally amazing......
Where does he get the 1/1250 photo etch from? Does he make it himself, I've never seen that scale sold.

Totally Amazing...... as I shake my head, and rub my eyes.....

Holy cow, the mind boggles. Not only the PE but also the rigging. Not to mention the patience needed for the camo job. Just incredible.

It certainly would be something to be able to model an entire task force on a table top.
