Rob de Bie's scale models
| Welcome to my modeling pages! You will find reports of my finished models and construction reports of some of the models I'm currently working on. You can take a look at my modeling workplace, and my for sale and wanted page. The pages show lots of 'in progress' photos, since I usually find these much more interesting than photos of the finished model. I spend a lot of time on research, but for me that is a large part of the pleasure of building a model. Some reference material is presented on this site. If you have comments or questions, mail me. You can also navigate this site by using the what's new page.
I'm a member of IPMS-NL chapter Zuid-Holland. During the months that covid-19 measures restricted us from having club meetings, I ran a temporary web page (in Dutch) where all club members could show off their modeling activities. This way we hope to keep the club spirit alive. There are 235 contributions, with 649 photos. Feel free to take a look - it's easy to navigate through. |
I noticed that many modelers are unaware of the existence of modeling clubs. Meeting fellow modelers and looking at and learning from each others models is very inspiring! I'm a member of IPMS-The Netherlands (International Plastic Modellers Society) which has about 1000 members. It has regional chapters, with regular meetings. You can view many photo reports of our Regio Zuid-Holland meetings. Dutch-speaking modelers can visit the Modelbrouwers forum. A source of modeling information from the nineties is the newsgroup rec.models.scale; you can search its archives through Google. |
