Matt P Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) Pretty much finished this diorama of the modern Ukraine fight back against the Russian invasion, featuring Miniart building (and air con), Masterbox figures and Zveda Tiger AFV. Added some resin flat tyres for the Tiger and a burned out resin car by MiG. I still have 4 more FC Modeltrend 3d printed figures to add at some point but my figure painting skills seem to be getting worse not better, so will add them later.

Matt P Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Added the last 4 figures. These are 3d printed items from FC Modeltrend and detail is quite good, although a bit scant in places particularly facial detail compared to resin figures. Also they are very fragile when removing all the printing 'sprues'. Overall though quite happy with the result. Painted with Hataka, AK, Life Color and Vallejo acrylics. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has lived almost 50 years in Russia, I am quite familiar with Russian obscene words and expressions. In my opinion, they are not used correctly on this signpost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Ahaa, that's what I get for taking things at face value from the internet. As far as I can tell the photo I used was real sign though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine spray-painting on a fence like that, but I find it hard to imagine a factory-made sign like that. Although, of course, anything can happen in war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine spray-painting on a fence like that, but I find it hard to imagine a factory-made sign like that. Although, of course, anything can happen in war I have just found out the real story. The sign was digitally altered by Ukravtodor, the official state road authority in Ukraine. It was to encourage people to remove or deface signs in order to confuse the Russian army. I am not sure if anyone actually produced this sign although I believe there were similar ones done for real. Difficult to find the truth in the fog of war.

socjo1 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Good job, very important topic. @MattP Maybe you can add a robbed stuff inside Tigr, some TV or even washing-mashine? It's another very characteristic and widely popular, real signmark... I can send it to you if you want. About road signs - it is quite common among modellers now. Fr example my friend used it too: Gratulations! Regards, Michal. Edited November 27, 2022 by socjo1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) There is some 'liberated' stuff in the Tiger. A painting and some boxes, but they didn't show up in the photos 😀 Edited November 27, 2022 by Matt P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
