Braveheart was an important film for me for years. As a kid, I was a huge fan of medieval knights and literally soaked up all the stories and children’s series (Prince Valiant!). I have no idea how old I was when I saw Braveheart for the first time, probably 11 or 12 and definitely too …
For months now, you’ve been seeing a lot of Star Wars Legion and models from 3D printing providers, all of them great, often spectacularly painted. As a Star Wars fan, your heart swells, it’s just insanely exciting what is now possible in our hobby. Although I have decided not to start with Star Wars Legion …
The shock of Matrix Reloaded was so deep in 2003 that I thought Equilibrium was even better than Matrix (back then, not today of course).

First of all, may I wish all readers a happy, healthy and optimistic new year. Of course, times are still difficult and we have already seen some things globally in the last few days that we would have preferred to avoid. But I prefer to keep optimism and believe that things will get better. From …
What a year. We have probably experienced a historic year, which we all remember as a whole society and each of us differently. I have not yet read any annual reviews, but it is clear that they will be dominated by the one issue that has defined us all. My life and that of my …
This year there is no Santa Claus, but another gentleman with a luxuriant white beard, red coat and a special gift for all the good ones: Getafix and his magic potion. The miniature comes from the same series of Metal Magic as already Asterix and Obelix. The casting was quite good for a figure from …
In recent weeks, I have tinkered with terrain from time to time. As is unfortunately often the case with us in the hobby, you are busy with this and that and sometimes it takes quite a while until you actually have something ready. Until the end of the year I wanted to finish everything currently …
