Harald
Position: CEO
Tasks & Projects: Typical CEO-Stuff / All
As the owner and managing director of „Modellbau König GmbH & Co. KG", Harald assembled a team of creative professionals and provided the budgets to pursue one of his dreams: releasing a
plastic model kit under his own brand. In late 2018, his dream has come true. Back in 1999, when he made the first steps with his company, he did not imagine that this dream would ever become
reality.
Mission accomplished.
Pete
Position: Project Managment / 3D Modelling
Tasks & Projects: All
Born and raised in California, Pete worked on his design chops as an aerospace designer in Seattle, Washington before packing up and re-locating to Spain. He developed a deep interest in flying
machines while growing up next to military air bases in Southern California. After spending a few years as a machinist, making other people's designs a reality, he realized that design was a
vocation where the creative and pragmatic elements of his personality could live side by side (though not always in perfect harmony), and so he obtained a bachelor of arts degree in industrial
design.
During his time in aerospace, Pete learned the value of flexibility and adaptability. While most of his billable time is spent in front of the computer doing CAD modelling, the things that really
bring value to his work are the time spent at the workbench doing physical modeling, the time he spent in manufacturing, and the time spent at model shows, talking with other modelers.
He especially enjoys projects that require an element of "industrial archaeology", where no detailed references exist, and where he is forced to try to get inside the heads of engineers and
manufacturers long-since passed.

Alexander
Position: Adviser
Tasks & Projects:
Like many fellow hobbyists, Alexs first encounter with scale modeling happened to him at the age of 10. Later, in his teen years he left the hobby for cars, girls and the military (as well as
some other stuff that not should be mentioned here) but he never really turned his back on scale models. At the dawn of the internet becoming a wide spread consumer platform, Alex picked up the
hobby again, now being equipped with the experience of a career of 12 years in sales for huge players in the IT industry. Alex now combined his assets, the passion for the hobby and his
experience in sales to form „Uschi van der Rosten", a rather small but quite known company , carrying decals and accessories. Alex is a scale modeler himself and many of his models were published
in fan zines. He is still an active modeler.
He would like to point out that Das Werk and Uschi van der Rosten are two separate projects respectively companies. He is part of the Das Werk-Team and work for this project, while only Uschi van
der Rosten is his completely own venture.

Michael
Position: Technical Consultant
Tasks & Projects: Research for Faun, Flakvierling & SMK
Michael, owner of Customscale. Modeling as a hobby has fascinated Michael as a child already. His early memories go back as far as he built a ship together with his father. The „modeling bug"
really had him as he discovered his talent in painting of lexane car bodies which expanded his abilities in scale modeling. Now as an ambitious scale modeler, he entered several competitions and
scored several Gold medals, namely at the Tamiya Cup for instance. In 2003 he became particulaciy interested in resin models.
The dynamics of his personality soon led to the formation of Customscale, a brand releasing very interesting and unique vehicles. His releases where repetitively picked up and published by other
brands. The co-operation of Das Werk and Customscale is the answer to this phenomenon.
