Drew’s Early Summer 2023 Hobby Update
Why is life so busy? I need to retire and simply build and blog! Ben suggested we send out occasional updates on what we are working on. Like most gamers/ modelers etc..

Unfortunately Ben and I had to put our Stalingrad … Continue reading Drew’s Early Summer 2023 Hobby Update
Interview with Colonel Muller Miniatures
Recently I discovered a new entrant to the 28mm STL market called Colonel Muller Miniatures. The 1940 French troops I have printed for my ongoing project have turned out wonderfully.

Rubicon Panzer IV D/E Unboxing and Review
Recently I added the Rubicon Panzer IV D/E to my backlog inventory. It can be found on Kick Ass Mail Order for the astonishingly low price of $23.50 USD. Funnily enough, I had initially bought the kit for its decals. I have found Rubicon decals are vastly superior to Warlord decals in terms of durability. This is particularly important to people with fat fingers like … Continue reading Rubicon Panzer IV D/E Unboxing and Review
