My photo
Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

A church . . .

Dear all,

Your help please!! :-)

I am interested in putting a church in my Normandy town, and while I was searching the web, I came across this magnificent model made by Faller (HO scale).



It's dimensions are: 240 x 129 x 340 mm.

I know that the scale is smaller than 20mm, but I thought that since it is a big and tall model, the difference will not be visible to the eye (it will need a serious painting job to fit the other buildings though).

It will be a sole building based on a small hill, therefore I think that it won't be 'easy' to compare it with my other terrain pieces.

Do you think that it can cope well with the other buildings?

I am only asking you because it is a rather expensive model to acquire (45 euro), and since I am a simple employee of the private sector, I don't want to waste my money on something that can't be used in the end of the day!!

I am sure you can feel my agony! :-)

Thank you in advance!

Zimbo's vs Byzantium Models

Good day everyone!

After a request that I got from Greg (great blog by the way mate), I uploaded some photos that shows how Zimbo's buildings are standing next to Byzantium Models buildings.
As you can see, Zimbo's buildings are bigger, but this difference can give a nice perspective to a gamer's eye, and add variety to the terrain.

Regardless of their differences, I recommend both og them with closed eyes! :-)

Zimbo's Buildings!!

Hello everyone!

This is my latest addition for my Normandy Project!

These two buildings have been purchased by a very polite and talented German fellow, Marc (email: marc070370z50819@yahoo.de).

The buildings are made from resin, and they come in separate pieces that you have to assemble.

The prices are very reasonable for someone who wants to recreate realistic Normandy buildings .

If you are interested, simply send him an email and he will be more than pleased to help you!

I recommend them with closed eyes!!!!

By the way, I hope you like the buildings that I painted! :-)

Any comments are more than welcome, as always!!
