discussion SOVIET T12 HOBBY BOSS KIT IN 1/35 SHOT UP IN A VILLAGE

[John Race]

Now the tank is built , time to start the diorama.



Just to show the work required to get to the basic stage. More to do on the buildings. Only a frame as it will be covered in timber to represent a Russian village. Now off to do the battle damage and why the tank is in the ditch..

Comments welcome.

You do like throwing your stuff into ditches and holes mate. This is going to be another stunner.

Arh, but when you are troubled with chassis and tracks, what more can you do ?

Great work John

Tank is good but this is the aspect of your work I enjoy the best. Probably because you're b****y good at it. Off to a fine start

Evening all.

Much has been done on the village houses, sat outside this morning and enjoyed the sun and the building.Later went inside to carry on.


The bucket in the pond has frog spawn in, so the fish don't eat them when they are small.


Need some village folk I think.

John.

Garden all ready to burst into life. Is that a bee hive - centre left in your photo?
Buildings off to a fine start.

Thanks Jim
The bee hive is actually a pond pump filter, feeds the water, after cleaning it back into the pond.

This afternoon, I managed to set out and glue the first joists . The roof thatch protruded futher foreward that the gable ends. Large supporting timbers were used as timber was plentiful.


I can see one on the right needs to be pushed down !
