Overloon! My final stop of the trip. After heading up Hell's Highway from Joe's Bridge to Arnhem, the drive back to Belgium went slightly east to check out .

Almost straight away I was hit by a great surprise. Gerrit van der Veen, who we are making a mini of, is someone i haven't finished the design brief yet for Alan. I wanted some more info on him first to help me tell the story. I managed to get hold of a book while in Belgium and then fantastically there is a part of the museum dedicated to him. Its extra emotional to see "my people" even if they've not even been sculpted yet.

They had so much more information and leads on more information, as well as photographs I hadn't seen before.

Another of the upcoming minis is Queen Wilhemina herself, so I had a go at broadcasting with her.

As always, most of the photos I took are for reference or secret upcoming things, but you can see a little bit of what's there - its probably one of the most photographed museums anyway!

Shout out to Sjak who recognised me in the cafe, that and being recognised in Antwerp, it was a marvel that my head fit through the checkpoints at the Eurostar. It actually means so much to get some motivational waheys ACROSS THE WORLD!

I'm back in the uk now, lots more to show you from the trip, lots more to talk about. Lots more bridges to make you guess. I'm back in office in Monday as the rest of the week is still holiday, just in England.

Extra million thanks to for being the best company, host, and person behind the camera on many occasion! ❤️

Last year I visited Haarlem to learn more about Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen and Freddie Oversteegen, as well as walk in their footsteps across various locations. We specialise in femme models, but the resistance project has introduced some men that it feels rude to miss out.

While we can't make everyone (the caveat I say a lot!) I can do my best! We've always been about covering what other people tend not to, and various men have popped up in the stories that you know what - come on in! So the next project isn't "Women of the Dutch Resistance", it's "Heroes of the Dutch Resistance". I don't often talk too much about who is coming up but I am currently finalising the sculptor brief for Jan Bonekamp and wanted to tell you about him.

Jan, also known as "Little Jan" was part of the same resistance group as Hannie Schaft. From early in the occupation, Jan worked against the fascists by distributing flyers, posters, fundraising and eventually calling on colleagues to join the February strike of 1941. In a similar route as many, including his best friend Hannie, Jan's actions escalated to more direct and dangerous actions such as the railway sabotage and infamous "liquidations".

It was one of these liquidations that cost him his life, while working with Hannie. She was devastated after his death, and among other praise words called him "the nicest guy I've ever met". And because I am a sap, I'm making a 28mm Little Jan to hang out with his mates.

I'm heading soon to Arnhem and the surrounding areas for WW2 research, I have a chonky list of places to visit over the few days, but does anyone have personal recommendations? I'm sure I'll be back when I inevitably don't fit everything in. Major and Mrs Holt have been very useful!

It's 1934 and these ladies aren't up to anything untoward at all. Nothing suspicious. Nothing in the briefcase of importance. 👀

Today I visited Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen. 25,843 Jewish and Roma folk passed through here on their way to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buchenwald, and Ravensbrück. Less than 5% made it back.

The "Give Them a Face" project aims to find and display every single one, and they've got over 20,000 now. The massive collection spans three floors in the memorial opposite the former barracks.

Kazerne Dossin is visitable to the public with a purpose built museum, and you can go inside the original building where people were kept until there were enough for a train to take them into even worse places. I didn't take any photos in there, it was very haunting.

While everybody knows the story, its important to keep retelling as people forget so quickly, especially how quickly it can happen. The horrors of WW2 aren't in a vacuum.

The last two pics I found super interesting as they show where the known clusters of resistance (and types) were, and another of where Jews were sheltered by both institutions and private residences.

Obviously not a fun trip, but very interesting and sobering, and important. I'm researching, so have some leads on stories to learn more about and then tell you about.

Thanks for reading!

This WONDERFUL new book from .r.pan and is incredible. Featuring Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen and Freddie Oversteegen. More ways for people to find out what these women accomplished are always excellent. Its currently only in Dutch but even worth it for the art work if you can't read it - the art is so expressive.

I'm travelling between Belgium and the Netherlands for the next week to find out more information about women (and some men, like Jan Bonekamp who is in this book) of the resistance for the next round of miniatures, and so I can learn and then pass this information onto you.

I picked up a whole new bunch of books in Dutch where there isn't an English version, so there's so much more information to be gathered!
