Markus lives with his wife and two children in the deep South of Bavaria, just five car-minutes from Castle Neuschwanstein. He is a professional sculptor and has his own company, Scorpio Models. His sculptures range in scale from from 1/100 up to 1/10, but one of his favorite topics are 40mm figures, and he loves that scale for telling small stories in boxed dioramas. (Barry Biediger and I were wowed by his work at World Expo in Stresa, and were eager to include him on the site. You can also connect with him on Facebook.)
