About me
I was born in 1958 in Vienna, Austria. I have been a professional musician for over 35 years and I’m the leader & founder of the Mojo Blues Band.
At the age of 10 my father, a great model ship builder himself, couraged me to collect and paint little Airfix figurines. Then I started to convert them and created my first dioramas. My hobby soon developed into a burning passion that lingers on until today. Now looking back on over 40 years of modelling experience, I focused almost entirely on the scale 1/72. The favorite subjects for my dioramas are military historical scenes (not necessarily battles) as well as the realizations of ethnological subjects.
My intense historical interests are reaching from ancient time until WWI and my effort is to create picturesque compositions telling stories and history. Although the figurines have static character, I'm trying to inhale them charisma & life. A friend once described my dioramas as 3-dimensional paintings, which is exactly what I'm trying to achieve.
Please be aware, that most of these shown dioramas were built many,many years ago. My level of figurine painting was not so exciting then.....
