Hiya all As I am waiting for some stuff to arrive I have been fleshing out my next build. I am planning on building a alternative version of a graveyard. A cold war graveyard that will represent the fallen icons of the Soviet block. I'm planning on a spooky graveyard vibe with these former icons now abandoned (each depicting an element of Soviet communism) I may either have decrepid gravestones in front or a plaque stating what each is representing. Within it will be abandoned; A concrete statue that is in Czechoslovakia (but slightly smaller in scale) that represents industry. This will have blown reinforced concrete and rust streaks and birds nests and bird poop. A UAZ 3909 military van all rusted and dented on bricks representing economics. A CCCP lettered sign, stainless steel, ripped from the ground with concrete foundation stumps still attached representing ideology. A standing Lenin figure now laying on its back that has been ripped out of the ground and dumped. (Not quiet this exact pose, the figure has his hand outstretched, I couldn't find a picture) representing doctrine. An old wooden privy with a bust of Lenin inside representing dogma and Putin's toxicity with a sign (gas under pressure warning sign?) An aurosan rf-08 propeller driven snow vehicle all beaten and rusted representing military. A decorative steel hammer and sickle statue ripped out of the ground with concrete foundation stumps attached representing agricultural. I have fleshed out a plan..... Also planning on including these elements... Access doorway idea. Spooky tree. Flag stones. The pigeons. And finally some lamposts.

Well, apologies for my absence so far this year from these hallowed pages. No excuses. I haven’t sat down at the bench at all since Christmas, it’s quickly disappeared under the usual detritus that covers every flat surface around me. Not something I’m proud of, or can find a decent explanation why. Hopefully my mojo will return soon. Anyway, I thought I’d share a model graveyard save I made yesterday at the end of a festival we are big fans of. I’m not sure with my recent track record of productivity why I stepped up to save these. I think I thought the Fury propeller would come in useful for a MkI Hurricane conversion. These were in a plastic tray, the type full of holes for small model bits to fall through. I walked away when he said a tenner, but caved in at a fiver. the SE5a looks saveable, as does the vacform Wyvern. I think the other biplane is a bulldog? Mostly complete bar missing or smashed struts. I now need to decide what to do with them all! Keen to know what others thoughts are. Are they all worthy of saving? Or should I get the lighter fuel and French bangers out?
