Baku old city map !?
« on: October 15, 2019, 09:26:27 AM »
Hi all !

Among my 2 or 3 main projects, there is the Russian civil war.

I would like to build a series of decors allowing fights in the suburbs or squarely in a big city.

In the Russian empire, the cities of the fringes (Siberia, Caucasus, Turkestan) are often a mixture of Russian / Western architecture and local architecture.

So I will gradually build Russian / Western buildings that I could use to model all kinds of Russian cities.

At first I will make houses in Baku.

For photographs no problem I have plenty (some found on the excellent site "Romanov Empire"), but to find a readable map, worthy of the name of Baku in the early twentieth century, it's difficult!

Someone would have such a map, or know where I can find one!

Hello !

Thank you for your support !

Beware my Portuguese projects in India and Sengoku Jidaï are priority, but to change my ideas from time to time, and to experiment my techniques (and train) I would do here and there a building for the Russian civil war.

I will open a topic on the forum.

For the card I already have this one: it is interesting, on the other hand it concerns only the "old town", a small part of Baku, thank you anyway!
