I bought this kit ages ago for when I needed a palate cleanser. So I got an aftermarket set (which is designed for a SSNModellbou kits it appears ) then parked it and pretty much forgot about it. I did pull it out once as I thought I’d make it as a sci-fi flying boat but saw the forgotten aftermarket set in the box and re parked it. Then I’ve been told again I’m presenting at our annual show so I asked online what people want and was told how to do seascapes. There are lots of I tube videos and about 7 ways of doing it but how to do it as a quick demo? So I used my foam cutter and make a progression of seascapes which will culminate in a complete model on a base in a sea. Now the kit! Not much to it. I built it in 20 minutes so I had a template to use.

Lower hull, I still need to do some scribing but I’m also tossing up as to if I’ll put it in a resin base. anyways, the kit completely omits the fender which is on the stern. I glued two small strips of hardwood together and sanded it to shape. You can see from the white bits I’ve done a lot of putty so far.

Photo time, there is a Russian language modelling site which I have gotten the images off. It appears that the boats were a brown water navy during the soviet era.

This thing is certainly going to take a LOT of paint. Not a hard build and being Soviet it’s pretty industrial

Time to get back to ships (well boats), I bought this monster and after doing some weathered 1/35 military stuff I’m ready for this. As it’s So yet era I can weather the absolute hell out of it and add some decent size figures.

Completely agree. The youth and treasure of Europe had been squandered by that stage. But wait! Here comes influenza !

So today I received the collection of Punch magazine from July to December 1918 (it’s the original prints). If you weren’t aware it was a satirical magazine. I’ve included a few photos. My plan is to have this as part of my display for the dio

A simple Google search reveals heaps of artillery parks for captured weapons in ww1

Pretty much spot on but December 1918; this will be on the name plate. Also I’ve ordered a set of punch magazine from 1918 armistice to go with it and a French victory medal. There are heaps and heaps of photos of artillery parks post war where the barrels are written on in chalk by the claiming battalions. Here in Australia a there are artillery pieces in front of nearly all RSL’s.

So as part of the trophy hunter theme, lots of spares on the blade of the howitzer. I will run a rope from the rear of the winch at the back of the tractor running down to the little mortar
