discussion 1/87 Scale Ukraine Ambush Dio

[Mr Bowcat]

I find CA glue very good for small incisions. Oh, and in for the build.

Or put a zipper on it.....BTW, if you hold off on this dio a little longer, you will be able to include Bradleys and M1 Abrams as well....just thinking out loud.

On it Rick. I guess they figured out the fuel situation for the Abrams. Would expect them to be deployed together like Leopards & Marders.

 

[minitnkr]

Here are some from the standby stash. This is just for show, not part of ambush dio.
Artfully compressed.



.....or could be an attack through a defensive position.

 

[minitnkr]

Berm for more trees/cover for AT teams.

 

[Mini Me]

Nice little build up.....should make all the difference.

 

[minitnkr]

Getting ready for trees & undergrowth.

Selected armatures for trees to thicken up hedgerows for additional air cover.

Another view of selected armatures for the north hedgerow.

 

[Jim R]

You really do have a flair for these dios. Your photos show just how realistic this is.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys.
Trees in north side, undergrowth next.

Eyeball view.

C&Cs encouraged.

Really nice gardening work Paul, really is looking good

 

[Guest]

Great work on the vegetation Paul , love that last photo .Those plants heads you use definitely suit your scale .

 

[minitnkr]

The difficulty w/reusing dio bases is removing & replacing vehicles & figs w/o wrecking the gardening.

 

[JayCee]

It might be difficult, but you manage it admirably.

[minitnkr]

Thanks, just trying to hold up my end.

 

[minitnkr]

Undergrowth & motrees complete. Placement of armor in flux. I'll try converting BW PGs & US modern inf. to Ukraine if I can get more Prieser US inf. The search continues.





C&Cs welcomed.

 

[minitnkr]

Eureka, I found 15 built Preiser modern US soldiers, they just need paint. Here they are w/Foxes under conversion/construction & additional AT weapons.

C&Cs encouraged.

 

[Mini Me]

Nice pick-ups. :thumb2:

Old ROCO Dodge & Trident Chevy stepside w/possible Avenger Stinger launcher mount. Almost finished C&C Fuchs. Conversion is very good once you get the pour blocks out of the way. They even supply dimples to start your drill for adding your own wire grabs.
