C4 Open 2014–Part I

It’s the last weekend of October, which only means one thing – it’s time for yet another visit to C4 Open exhibition, the biggest (by default, since it’s the only one) modelling exhibition in my area.

This year’s event was a bit disappointing and I really hope that it’s not an indication of development in the hobby in general. Far fewer displays almost no large scale dioramas. On the other hand, there were unusually many miniatures (including some 28mm Napoleonic minis from Perry Brothers!), so that was good news.

Anyway… managed to take a bunch of pictures and fall in love all over again with my tiny Lumix LX7; by gods, what a brilliant little camera it is! Here’s the first instalment, mostly miniatures and a bunch of ‘big cats’ in 1/35 scale.

Warsaw Military Museum Redux

Last time I visited Warsaw Military Museum, I had a rather crappy camera. This time around I brought with me my beloved Lumix LX7, which just shrugs its shoulders at even the shittiest lighting conditions and then proceeds with taking perfect pictures. So, this time around I was able to take some decent snapshots of, among other things, museum’s lovely knight/winged hussar armour.

Here are the pics for your viewing pleasure and perhaps for reference.

Just a quick post with a link to pictures I've taken at this year's C4 Open exhibition. You can find the best of them in a gallery I've created at Facebook, click here to go to it.

Etruscan collection in Glyptoteket

Couple of weeks ago I had a great pleasure of visiting Glyptoteket Art Museum in Copenhagen (thank you, Ewa). For those unfamiliar with what Glyptoteket is, it was created by the son of Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen, who thought that his workers should have access to fine art. Glyptoteket is an art museum, so it may seem strange that I am posting about my visit on this forum. The thing is though that Glyptoteket has a huge Etruscan collection and quite a few objects related to Etruscan military.

So without any further comments, below are some pictures that some of you could find of interest.
