San (named after Sanok, the town in Poland where the bus factory was located) – It’s rather poorly designed bus from early 60ties. Although it was a bit obsolete on the other hand it was chip and that’s why very popular during next two decades. It had two main variants. To model the body I used the small pieces of 1mm plastic sheets […]

The basic variant, Refrigerator […]

I like the Faller, because of it’s nice texture and deep matt finish. Next, I used Faller’s glue to fix the static grass by Polak. You must remember to mask […]

Finally I used white paint to wash the walls a bit. Totem was made from an old guitar string. Than I put all my elements on the base […]

This is my brand new project – a gas station from 60-70ties. I wanted to have a structure as versatile as possible, so it could be placed on dioramas from various coutries. I have already printed two decal sets, for Polish CPN and German ARAL versions. This project depicts rather big station similar to those situated along the main roads across the Europe […]
