Midget submarine Marder in Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr, Dresden.

Marder

WWII aviation inspired backpiece. Inspired by his interest in WWII history, he chose the design as a cover up of an earlier piece — hence the reason for the night bombing scene depicted, though he noted he knows the Americans didn’t utilize night bombing missions that much.

He adds: “I went with this design because I find that the vintage look and design of the B-17 and other planes of that era really remind me of the crazy things that our troops were doing back then. No technology like today. It was a huge hunk of metal that somehow got off the ground, dropped bombs while getting shot to hell, and came back to do it all again – if they were lucky. I have been asked why I did not get modern planes… I guess some people just don’t get it.
