570 & 453, Thanks for the kind words. Now that it's off the bench I'm sort of at a loss as to what to tackle next. Been waiting on some figs. that have been on back order for at least a month now. Seems like a lot of folks are messing around with models of various railroad themed subjects. Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks Lee, I'm running out of unusual vehicles....may have to resort to building a few armor pieces or perhaps some artillery.
Anyway, glad you dropped by. Rick H.

Hi Paul, Thanks for the kind words.......Tatras would be great but so far I've only seen them in resin and they don't look all that great.
If you come across anything in plastic let me know as I am always willing to try something different. Rick H.

Those early Zis. Looks a lot like early 30s Autocar trucks. And if you want to do a rail thing I like that second pic but I also like the first better with that trailer.That second one with the rail car is really neat and it would be very different from the main steam of train stuff posted here just a thought Rick
 
Well spotted Lee.


The ZIS-5 (Russian: ЗиС-5) was a 4x2 Soviet truck produced by Moscow ZIS factory from October 1933 on. It was an almost identical copy of the American Autocar Dispatch Model SA truck.



In 1931 Moscow Avtomobilnoe Moskovskoe Obshchestvo (AMO, Russian Автомобильное Московское Общество (АМО) — Moscow Automotive Enterprise) truck plant was re-equipped and expanded with the help of the American A.J. Brandt Co., and began to produce a new truck with designation of AMO-2. AMO-2 was intended as a replacement of the previous AMO-F15, the first Soviet truck ever built (it was a copy of the Italian Fiat F-15).

Soon AMO-2 was improved, and new models AMO-3 and AMO-4 appeared. In 1933 AMO was rebuilt again and renamed into Factory No. 2 Zavod Imeni Stalina (or Plant of Stalin's Name, abbreviated in ZIS or ZiS) and in Summer first prototypes of the new ZIS-5 appeared.

Sorry Rick jumping in on your thread.
