Time in Scale, since 2021

Welcome to my artist’s page, Time in Scale. My name is Michael Schneider and I was born in 1983 in Bad Berleburg, Germany.

Even at school my favourite subjects were history, geography and art. I was especially fascinated by the military side of history, following the conquests and expansion of past empires right up to modern times. Naturally I built the odd model kit back then and gained my first hands-on experience.

After my apprenticeship and getting married, I returned to the hobby, inspired by François Verlinden, Bob Letterman and Shepard Paine, whose professional approach to building models and dioramas set entirely new standards in the field.

In 2012 I entered my first competition, in Mol, Belgium, and won a silver medal straight away. Hooked by that success, I now regularly attend national and international shows and competitions, where I have made many friends who share this passion.

A particular highlight for me was taking part in the World Model Expo in 2022, which is held only every three years, that year in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. In each of the three Master categories I entered, I won a bronze medal.

I have also painted box art for several companies – the pictures on the box lid showing the finished figure or bust – which I value as another form of recognition for my work. At the request and urging of fellow modellers and painters, I set up my own “studio” in 2021, Time in Scale – Michael Schneider, to show my work to a wider audience.

The main focus of my work is the Second World War, mostly the Axis powers, but I am not limited to it.

This site is part of my new and exciting project to present my work to fellow modellers and to anyone who would like to become one.
