Plastic Invasion

June 6th, 1944 – Normandy, France. The night air is cool and thick with the weight of what’s about to unfold.

Adalbert Floor, a paratrooper from the legendary Easy Company 506/IR, sits quietly in enemy-occupied territory. His Carbine rests against his leg as he listens carefully every sound around him sharpening his senses. Moments ago, flak and darkness scattered his comrades across the French countryside, but now he’s here – steady, focused, and ready for whatever comes next. For Adalbert, this isn’t just about survival. It’s the beginning of a mission that will shape history.

Adalbert’s incredible journey is just one of three stories featured in our upcoming book!

I can't believe it, but we're just days away from releasing this beauty into the world in a new Kickstarter campaign. Three stories of the brave men who jumped out of parachutes into Normandy at night to be one of the first to launch Operation Overlord. We'll start with content previews in 3,2,1...

The PIA award in the diorama category at SMC went to Markus Eriksson for his outstanding portrayal of a moment from the end of the war, fittingly titled "Wasted years". The terrain, vehicles, figures and overall atmosphere of this diorama captivated us. We have been following Markus' work for a long time and it was an absolute pleasure to meet him and to give him the award with sincere congratulations on behalf of the whole jury. Bravo...

A few days ago we showed you who was this year's PIA award winner at the SMC show. You know the names, but what masterpieces did they actually succeed with? Let's take it one by one.

In the bust category PIA won with fantastic Skijäger by Michael Lee. Note the very realistic painting of the worn wood on the skis, the very realistic skin tone and fine painting of the face, as well as all the other accessories of the outfit such as leather and canvas items. Also worthy of note is the excellent bluing on the MP40 submachine gun. A true masterpiece and it was an honor to finally meet you in person, Michael!

Now when the biggest SMC craziness has calmed down, we can enjoy some real gems and extraordinary PIA award-winning works. On behalf of the jury, allow me to present to you the winners of the three categories that were awarded in Holland. And be sure that the competition was really high!

Yeah, we've started by showing you samples from the new issue of Scale it! a little backwards, right? First, the almost finished vehicle and the figures... So let's take a look at what it looks like at the beginning of the scale modeling article, when the Kubelwagen looked like just a bunch of plastic parts.

After a spectacular launch at SMC, we can now announce that the new Scale it! is now in stock! Soon also at your dealers, a list of which you can find on our website. Cheers!

So far, our work has been known mainly thanks to publications focused on figure painting. However, with the second issue of Scale it! this will change! From now on, with each new issue we will explore the fascinating world of military vehicles together with faithfully re-enacted scenes illustrating....

If there's one photo that sums up my feelings about this year's SMC, it's this one. Thank you so much to everyone who came to visit me at the booth and just to chat or even buy something. And many thanks to my scale modeling family from all over the world for getting together again. I love you.

For all of you who are going to SMC, here's a map of where to find us.

If you've ever wondered what it looks like when we're working on our books, then tune in to the Plastic Invasion page tomorrow for a live stream from the studio!

The whole process of making one issue of Scale it! is actually one big challenge. Why? Because we constantly have to check photos of the real vehicle, model and layout.

So Klaus has taken the wheel off and the Kdf is almost ready to be placed in the diorama.

You can still order the new Scale it! at a discounted price in pre-orders ;)

"Klaus! don't get sloppy and get to work!"

We have to get our muscles ready too, they called us today, they'll start loading the magazines on the truck soon. The problem is, we have to unload it ourselves...

So far we've only shared a little from the reenactment part of the upcoming Scale it! issue. While we still have a lot of photos to show you, like from the very original VW 82 walkaround, let’s first look at his 1/35 scale "brother".
