About CADDICTED

I originally studied electrical engineering in the 80s and 90s, but even then I had a clear affinity for all kinds of CAD applications. At that time, these were mostly reserved for companies and were unaffordable for private use, especially in the mechanical sector.

The changing times, my professional environment and, last but not least, my passion for model building made private purchase and use possible in the early 2000s.

CADDICTED is essentially committed to the digital restoration of model engines and models. In addition, as a fan of so-called blueprints, I create them for every project. I hope it will be a pleasure for every technically interested viewer. The photo books contain versions of the large-format posters reduced to A3.

And by the way: Are the color representations photos of the restored engines? No: They are exclusively renderings based directly on the CAD-data.

Thanks for reading, watching and enjoying!

I have always been fascinated by model building, or more precisely, model building with radio control technology. Even as a small boy, I stood for what felt like hours at the window of our model shop in my home town in Hohenlohe, dreaming of green meadows, blue lakes and windy slopes. I looked up into a bright blue sky and followed the trail of my sailboat.

Or I stood on a completely muddy meadow where the local motocross races were taking place and used the time after the race to chase my buggy through the muddy ruts. Or I went to the large parking lot that I had all to myself and chased my on-road racer around the racing pylons at breathtaking speed.

That was around 1975.

This passion has remained with me over the years, through all the ups and downs of life. It inspired me to keep going in the good times and not to give up in the difficult ones. No matter what.

'Passion' therefore has its own meaning for me. 

If not the meaning par excellence.

In recent years, I digitally resurrect models from my childhood and youth. Retrace the design and the thought process of the developers at that time.

And I try to combine the creative act of that time with my passion. In the process something new is created.

This website is for all those who have remained true to their passion and like to be inspired.
