Model box selfie

Posing with the boxes of some of my scale models that I have worked on when I started creating dioramas from 2022 to 2023, after a 40 year hiatus of not building scale models and dioramas.

Along with the boxes of various scale models, there is also the "Games of the Generals" board game that was invented by the Filipino, by Sofronio H. Pasola Jr., in 1970. Aside from the board game, the other box is the full poseable figma™ Davide di Michelangelo (released 2016).

The models kits behind me are (top to bottom and left to right):
