I may have been quiet on here but rest assured I have been toiling away behind the scenes. We have some fun stuff developing in the Iron Dice Incubator (TM) not to mention the half dozen articles I have started in the past 3 week… stay tuned I suppose? Excitingly, in the past few weeks we hit 50,000 lifetime site views and we are closing … Continue reading Good Morning Vietnam! (Again)
Well, time for some more Hobby Zone Modular Workshop System madness! In today’s build and review we are looking at the Corner Shelf Module and the Corner Bottles Module. Continue reading Product Review: Hobby Zone Corner Shelf
Things are happening at the Iron Dice Thunderdome. If you get the reference you have our respect and sympathy (in equal measure). And yes, I’ve hit a nerd milestone. I have emailed a foreign government asking for photographs. Fingers crossed… Continue reading …whatcha got there?
The American 101st Airborne, backed up by a small contingent of tank destroyers and Shermans valiantly defended the town from dug in foxholes in the woods and the crumbled buildings and farms at the edges of town.

The Rubicon Tiger II was a beast of a kit. I really enjoyed digging into the history of the vehicle and finding a way to paint it up. The build effort was worth it as I have a huge center piece for my late war German forces from Market Garden to the Ruhr. Continue reading History to Hobby – Big Kitty: Rubicon King Tiger Review
