Pаспу́тица (Time without roads) BA-6 Dio

JSteinman

Master at Arms
This is the oldest shelf queen that I have. I started this 13 year ago when I got back into the hobby. It got sidelined due to a 1/2 track group build on WW2 Model Maker (Anyone remember that site?), which got noticed by Pat Stansel, who sent me some stuff to do for MMiR, and well the rest is history, until recently of course.

Most of what you see here is very old work. I recently added the ammo rack and drums, the fire extinguisher and the inner door panel.

Awesome work! (y)

WW2 Model Maker! I always wondered what happened to that site. Perusing the pages there and drooling over everyone's builds is what got me back into the hobby.

Hmm I think I have to go back and address the size of the cheeeps on the ammo racks - too out of scale for me.

Okay with the Seehund and SG-122(A) completed it's back to the Bases with this project.


Raised section and foot print for the house set.

A not very exciting view of how this is progressing. I have finished the mock-up of the house and have now started to build up the roof - man there are some tricky compound angles here. Gingerbread is being done with a laser cutter by a friend of mine who is also doing the cad work for the windows.

This is the window and gingerbread that the model is being based upon:

Is that the 3d rendering? 3D printer tech is really changing the hobby ain't it?
