    ...so socialist ghost busters...:) just out of curiosity, this ambulance was created by modifying a Tatra 613 limousine, which was practically impossible to buy and was used almost exclusively by state officials as an official car (in black) in the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

    Thank you, I overlooked this scale because the models in it seemed simple to me, but I see that they are quite nice models that can be glued together relatively quickly with a nice result...I will add models in 1:32 and 1:24 scale later. ;)

    TO: zathros You can learn a lot by gluing paper models. ;) Thanx, but these are simple models, with which I want to remind myself of the work of Mr. Antonický, who was a prominent author of models in the ABC magazine, but also in the Slovak magazine Zenit, and it also takes me back a few...

    Racing cars

    I sometimes add a race car here. ;) As I learned, Mr. Antonický is celebrating his 60th birthday this year, so it would be appropriate to recall at least a few models from his wide range of work that appealed to me and that I grew up with. The first model had to be this Ford, which I have fond...

    My animals.

    Thanks:) ...that tail seemed strange to me too, but then I looked at the real animal and it really does have such a massive tail, I even read somewhere that to keep it warm, it lies down in a cave or hole in the ground and wraps itself with that tail...maybe the end of that thing could have...

    My animals.

    Thanks :) I have the snow leopard finished. I made a base, I used pebbles, dry grass and a little snow as a base, considering the environment where this animal lives. I also made his whiskers from dry grass...a few photos:

    My animals.

    ...thanks, but there are other master modelers here, I'm glad that even after years of gluing, I still enjoy models :) After a little persuasion, I managed to fold the leopard, and it even stands up nicely, which is not always possible... ;)a few photos:
