A little about the company Jon Smith Modellbau is based in Germany and is focused on the Great War 1914 – 18.These are kits for the model-maker and collector and are sculptured using the original photos, measurements and items from this period. It is really a combination of different reasons why I chose The Great War period to base the figures on. Firstly, there was not really much on the market in this scale at the time and I believed the interest was certainly there. Secondly, in order to make the figures I needed to research, measure and photograph the original equipment, weapons and uniforms etc. This was and still is achieved mainly through museums and collectors, which are never more than a few hours’ drive away from home. From the two sources, the collector is by far the most helpful and knowledgeable and will talk for hours about their own subject. Naturally, some of this information is then passed on in the infosheets and painting instructions supplied with each model kit.
Jon Smith it is Jonathan Peter Smith brought up in the county of Warwickshire in the Midlands, UK. Later, the family moved to Sussex and then on to Bath, in the southwest of England. It was whilst in Sussex that I joined the British Army as an infantryman. This virtually put an end to any model making and it was not until the mid-80s that I slowly picked up the reins again. Like many ex-servicemen I married a local girl and settled down here in Northern Germany.
