A place for models, miniatures, wargaming builds, historical pieces, and all the stuff that makes our inner 12-year-old smile.

1:32 scale German 17th Waffen SS Division PAK 40 Cannon from W. Britain. Picked this one up because the detail just jumps out — solid crew poses, nice weathering.

One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

On display from my toy shelf: the Unimax / Forces of Valor M4A3(76)W Sherman “Julia,” representing the 761st Tank Battalion “Black Panthers,” one of the U.S. Army’s standout African American tank units in late-war Europe, alongside the M5A1 Stuart light tank — fast, nimble, and a nice contrast to the heavier Sherman.
