Mechelen, Antwerp, Belgium
Luk says that the war in Ukraine is a big concern for the people of Europe, and he wanted to build something to express his support for Ukraine. An avid World War II model builder, he came across a Tamiya 1/35 scale SdKfz 251/9 with a figure holding a paintbrush. Luk painted his scene with Tamiya acrylics and depicted the figure painting ‘slava Ukrain’ (meaning ‘glory to Ukraine’) on his vehicle. As for the pig’s name, he says, “well, you can guess.”
