This is a report of my personal experience. An overview and analysis of the lists played can be found here: http://www.xwingminiaturesgame.com/squad-list-rebels/nationals-review-the-netherlands/ Each tournament starts long before the first round with designing a list. I wanted a Rebel list that could deal with Falcons. That meant at least four ships. I […]
Een leuke dierentuin in het zuidoosten van het land. De meeste dieren zijn direct of door glas goed te fotograferen.
While the miniatures for Fantasy Flight Games’ X-Wing game come prepainted (well), there’s always room for improvement. I’ve painted engine glow where appropriate, to make it look like those engines are actually powered up. Some people even do LED modifications on the larger ships! As shown elsewhere, I converted my […]
[lang_nl]Update 2016: Ik gebruik deze en soortgelijke dozen nog steeds voor dials etc., maar voor het vervoer van de schepen heb ik inmiddels een aantal foam trays van Feldherr gekocht. Een uitdaging met X-Wing is het opslaan en vervoeren van alle benodigde spullen. Niet alleen de schepen moet veilig opgeborgen […]
Disclaimer: I read this book in the Dutch translation The 13th Valley by John Del Vecchio has been called the classic Vietnam novel. Other classic books (e.g. Dispatches by Michael Herr, The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brian, Chickenhawk by Robert Mason) were first-hand accounts, although O’Brian often crosses the […]
My 20mm (1/72) Bundeswehr Cold War army has reached an intermediate goal: I have finished a mixed company-sized armored force, consisting of the following: Panzerzug, 4x Leopard 2 A4 (Revell) Panzergrenadierzug, 3x Marder A2 (Revell, modified) with Elhiem infantry Panzeraufklärungszug, Leopard 1 A4 (ESCI) & Luchs (Revell) Unterstützungszug Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard […]
I recently pitted my German forces against Rutger‘s Russians. The Russian forces consisted of a full company of T-72s, a couple of BMPs, a recce platoon with two T-80s and a BRDM-3, and air defense assets. My German forces were composed of a full platoon each of Leopard 2s and […]
No German Cold War army is complete without a Panzerabwehrhubschrauber 1 for some air support. While Revell had offerings in 1/32 and 1/48 scale, the only 1/72 kit of the MBB Bo 105 is by Airfix and long out of production. Luckily, I managed to find one on ebay, complete […]
Een kleinere, maar desalniettemin leuke dierentuin in het Zuidoosten van Nederland. De meeste dieren zijn zonder glas, tralies of gaas ertussen te zien, wat ideaal is voor dierenfotografie. Bij sommige dieren (o.a. kangoeroes en ringstaartmaki’s) kun je zelf door het verblijf lopen. Foto’s zoals altijd genomen met de Nikon D90 […]
The Flugausstellung Hermeskeil in the Hunsrück mountains in western Germany has an interesting collection of mostly Cold War-era military aircraft. It consists of several indoor halls and a large outdoor area. German and British aircraft are well represented, while US Navy aircraft are absent. Among the largest aircraft are a […]
