Sunday, January 11th, 2009X-Wing – cleaning and glueing, first jobs done
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009By now the model should be dismantled and all the parts clean. I hope you realised, that the model has a ridge in front of the wings and you didn’t shave off that one as well … this Version of the X-Wing Fighter will be grounded and therefore the S-Foils (wings) will be closed and the landing gear will be lowered.

GN15 … what about it?
Friday, January 2nd, 2009In 2006, before I stared my own company, I briefly did some Gn15 modelling. I still do like the idea of large scale minimal gauge. That is what Gn15 is … 15″ rails (equal to 16mm in 1/22.5 scale, it’s H0 track) in G-Scale like LGB and others. You would find the originals in parks as “park railway” as well as in industrial surroundings as light industrial transport system.

X-Wing EasyKit by Revell
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Let me start this blog with a post about a recent gift from friends in the UK … for Christmas they sent me the Revell EasyKit “X-Wing Fighter“. This is a Kit intended for the beginner and does not require tools or glue. Still you can make a nice model in approx. 1/56th scale out of the kit.
Let me first of all show you some pictures of the ready assembled model:
