Why we love Russia #1

[tr1ckey66]

Thanks Rich, but I don't deserve to be compared to "The Great One" not one little bit, but I sincerely appreciate the compliment. I bought one of his books way back in early 80s and studied it until it literally disintegrated in my hands. He was a true pioneer in modeling and a fantastic artist....Thanks Again.........Jim

I think it's your dry brushing style that is reminiscent. It's kind of disappeared in recent years but can still be effective if applied with care.


It's Paul BTW

Sorry Paul, from what I hear folks don't want to spend the time to learn the ropes but I know no other way, I have a new AB, had it for years, never even opened the boxo_O

I don't know how I missed this! That's a cracking bit of kit bashing. Never mind what the lad says; no doubt he'll know better when he grows up!

The Russians came up with a few very interesting prototypes, but they never took off with the war ending and all. There is one particular model based on the old pre ww2 Zis truck.


Mostly used to haul artillery and such. I'm hoping to get one for my birthday from my wonderful son

Thanks Steve, never thought too much about technicalities until I joined the site but that won't stop me from stirring the pot every now and then, I took two HEMTT fuel tankers {8x8} and


turned the two into one 10x10 flat bed heavy vehicle hauler, just for fun












.................Cheers...Jim
