Here’s an early attempt at a very simple knocked-out vehicle. As it was not too pricy, the Zvezda (3617) Soviet BA-10 Armored Car was the perfect sacrificial lamb.
That looks really great Mike. The wreck looks great on its own, but the Dio backdrop makes its really come alive ( or dead in this case ). Where was the Dio from and was it all part of s kit or scratch built bits as well ??
John, Glad you like the diorama! … Nothing new, just an old build which I did back in 2014.
The kit: MiniArt (36026) ‘Russian Street.’ Unfortunately, the kit has been discontinued for some time now — a mould which should definitely be rereleased as MiniArt often does.
As far as scratch-building: Once I had the vaccu-form walls assembled they needed quite a bit of edge filling and seam cleanup. Then, I added individually cut bricks to the ruined edges. After which, I added several tons of scratch-built rubble onto the base to further meet the demands of Armorama’s ‘Rubble Police.’ Haha! In addition, I opted to cut-out the tram track detail and replaced it with Evergreen strips and so on…
Hi Jesper, Thank you!
There are no more vehicles planned. I wanted the scene to have a sort of perspective impact with the figures clearly visible when viewed from street level.
Knocked-out? Knock-out! Never seen this one before either, fantastic work & yessir I am a Commissioner Armorama Rubble Police (CARP for short…I could change that) and…OK you can walk…this time! I see cobbles & tram lines, how cunning there’s no room for a tram…wish I’d seen this 2 years ago
As they say: He who has the most trams, wins. … You, sir, have three trams (count ‘em, three!) with tons o’ very impressive scratch-building to-boot! … And I have only one (as in singular) completely un-started tram in a box.
