Aleksander Stein has not been building as much lately as he used to in previous years, and it has been a while since we last blogged one of his models, but that only serves to make it more exciting when he does post photographs of new models.

His latest, which he aptly calls ‘Distant Thunder’, shows a selection of vehicles participating in a military operation. Fictional military vehicles have rarely looked this realistic. The types of vehicles and the presentation remind me more than a little of photographs from the war in Afghanistan.
