“Man has no understanding. He can be taught a few simple tricks. Nothing more.”
Without further ado: Dr. Zaius (from Crooked Dice)
“Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil’s pawn.”
“Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport, or lust, or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him …

“Take your sticky paws off me, you damn dirty ape!”
I always had a strange fascination for the old ‘Planet of the Apes’ movies, although I only realized the quality of the first film years later. Probably the great masks and the setting were interesting enough to inspire me as a teenager. When I saw and bought the beautiful miniatures of Crooked Dice, I knew …

“Is life always this hard, or is it just when you’re a kid?”
After Leon last week it was now the turn of his sidekick Mathilda, who is phenomenally played by Natalie Portman. Already with her debut role she left a lasting impression and still surprises me with interesting roles. The miniature was in a set of Rogue Miniatures together with Leon. Although it is much more strongly …

“No women, no kids, that’s the rules.”
Léon: The Professional was one of those films that aroused my fascination for movies. The taciturn and nonchalant killer, who takes the orphaned girl under his wing, offered a lot of sympathy and maybe a little bit of identification potential, despite his daily business. But what I really remember from the beginning was the aggressive …
“Show’s over, motherfuckers.“
Maybe Hit-Girl was the biggest surprise in “Kickass” for me. This overly violent girl with the dry sayings was a refreshing break with viewing habits and on top of that wonderfully played by Chloe Grace Moretz. I had been looking for a suitable miniature for a long time, which I could convert. By chance I …
“At some point in our lives, we all wanted to be a superhero.”
… this sentence was one of the many things that excited me about “Kick Ass” back then. There was a lot to laugh about, a well-known story told in a new and different way and some unforgettable characters. Kick Ass is probably the only comic adaptation for which I didn’t read the original, although I’m …

“You talkin’ to me?”
Taxi Driver is one of Martin Scorsese’s most iconic films and also one of Robert de Niro’s most iconic roles. I love this film and have painfully realized that I haven’t seen it for ages. Painting the miniature of Travis Bickle by Studio Miniatures was really a lot of fun. The design is phenomenal, it …
“Taxi!”
Every film studio needs props. Here at movieminis.de we definitely need more cars. Since the shooting of a certain film with Robert de Niro will start soon, we first got a taxi from Antenocitis Workshop. Luckily director Martin Scorsese approved. Now we can start shooting! Action!
“Hit me! Come on! Hit me!”
Finally I painted Batman on Batpod, after the model had been standing on my table for almost a year, only black primed. I like the miniature because of its very dynamic pose. It captures a moment of the iconic scene from The Dark Knight, where the Joker provokes Batman to run him over. It’s the …
