Disaster struck …

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

… and it struck big time. First the hard disk on my desktop failed, no bother I thought, I have all the data on the server. I created a backup on the server, downloaded it and net thing I know, the hard disk on the server fails. Hey I thought, no sweat, just did a backup of everything. But … disasters second part struck … the backup is corrupt and I have only the DB to work with, no images whatsoever.

Sorry folks, I’ll try to revive as much as possible over the next couple of weeks …

Outdoor Fotoshoot – Part 1

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Today my wife, my sister and me have been out in Krefeld. We went to the Botanical Garden and the Schönwasser Park. Bsides some doll motives which you will be able to see on their respective bogs I managed to take some pictures as well. I had some XMods (The red Hummer and the white Porsche) and two Mini-Z (the Subaru and the Nissan) with me. Here are some images for you, in part 1 it’s the XMod Trucks:

Lazy?

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I had to ask myself this question over the last couple of days. Why is that you might ask yourself? It is 1 and a half month ago, that I posted the last time … so what happened in the meantime?

Lately …

Friday, February 12th, 2010

… I have been a bit lazy with this site. The reason for it is simple, I am creating content for my new site Mini-RC-Tutorials. Besides creating the content there is quite some other things to manage, especially getting the design ready.

The last year …

Friday, January 1st, 2010

… was very eventful, I think for everybody. Besides the all encompassing financial crisis a couple of traditional modelling companies went out of business and shook the world, mainly that of the model railway fans. But the sum ups are better left to other people.

Actionfigurado – 1/6th scale Modelling

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Actually on Saturday we where scheduled to go to the actionfigurado in Duiven (Nederlands) with my company Mini-Lifestyle but due to health reasons we can not attend. It is a shame, since we always liked the appearance there …

This event is about 12 inch Actionfigures but the people interested in those are quite often not only collectors but also large scale model builders. And you get to see some good stuff there as well. The website of the event has some images of the last years, so go and have a look.

Car Boot Sale again … yeah … and Fischer Technik

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Wow … what a weekend. Saturday I’ve been at a local car boot sale and brought bags of stuff (a couple of tank kits, a plane, a Billing Boat Kit …) and then afterwards I went with some friends of the Fischer Technik Club NL to a convention of the FTCommunity in Erbes-Büdesheim which was for the first time organised by Knobloch GmbH, a company dedicted to Fischer Technik.

I was most impressed by the large models … a crane made out of static parts, which was 3 times as tall as the builder D. Kutsch (easily!), a freefall rollercoaster and “flying Fischer Technik”. Thanks a lot folks for this nice day!
