Stars over Donbass
I reckon my indignation with collapsing buildings increases with the proximity, and the more they’re close to my home the more I worry. So I have to get back to it, time and again. Leaving a bit my dreamy universe to get into real sad things. I recently learned that the pro Russians organised a
Baba Yaga III
Baba yaga is the main sorceress of Slavic Folklore. I already did 2 Baba Yaga dioramas in the past.
T9114
I’m back with soviet era locomotives, the 2 T9114 are on the far right first row, the #TrM46 is the red one at the center and all the others are #T93. Those are late 50s to mid 70s rolling stock, all dispatched in the former republics of the empire. Despite a few small mistakes, those

Suimsuit III
The last of the series. I wanted to make another contrast between the flowery bathing suit and a very blue swimming pool. Instead of catapulting my model in my rusty world, I thought it would be nice to get into her own. With lights from the past and a clear horizon ahead.
Suimsuit II
Ibis
Using the AK Interactive Land Rover as a base.
