Before I begin I should explain the pause in reporting. Having taken some pictures of my latest project, I placed the camera in a location where I would not forget it and it would be safe. Of course when I went to get it I could not find it. For several days I looked in all the likely spots to no avail. Eventually I went back to the first place I looked and there it was under some papers - doh!
Anyway, for the last few days I have been working on a small factory and warehouse to make up two industrial hexes. They are made from foam board and balsa, with a paper chimney, coated in pva for strength. Here is the small factory unit:
To go with it I have made a substantial warehouse building:
The two structures can be placed together to form a major strong point:
Seen here with some Russian troops defending:
The chimney is quite tapered, although this is not clear in the pictures taken from above, but is evident in this shot of the components prior to construction:
And staunchly defended by Airfix Russians, too. Up the workers!
ReplyDeleteStill the best Russian figures in my 'umble opinion!
DeleteI am very impressed with your work, here, Bob. Inspirational. Of course, I shall have to flatter you in the sincerest possible manner!
ReplyDeleteFlatered I am! I have enjoyed working on these buildings, especially the planning of them - there has been a fair bit of trial and error - mostly error!!
DeleteFlattered even.
