Mike's Heavy Panzer Division

Hetzer Welcome To My Homepage Panther "A"

Welcome to my hobby site.

These are 1:6 scale (for the most part) creations and customs by me (Mike Orona) along with some other items I might share... I invite you to browse and feel free to contact me for any questions or comments... I do customizations and custom paint work on pieces as well so feel free to ask if you see something you particularly like...

I am an avid Military History buff but by no means do I condone or support the actions of certain countries or individuals... I have a LARGE WWII German collection in 1:1 and 1:6 scales but by no means support what that particular government stood for or the atrocities committed by them or for that matter any individuals in the name of tyranny or STUPIDITY... My belief is that history is meant to teach us of the mistakes made in the past in order that we may avoid repeating them in the future...

 

I started collecting 1:6 scale figures about 24 years ago when a friend I worked with turned me onto his GI Joe figures... Now 1800+ figures later I have amassed quite a collection... I have 25+ vehicles & armor in 1:6 scale as well taking up various sections of my workshop... About 70% of my collection is WWII German the rest being a mix of American, British & Russian... I find working on my "hobby" a very relaxing activity that helps reduce the stress... Luckily my wife is VERY understanding and has allowed me to annex the bottom floor of my home for my creations... I scratchbuild a number of items whenever needed and do allot of custom work for others as well... If you see something that interests you, let me know and I am sure I can probably help you out...
