Thanks! I'm only an indifferently skilled scratch-builder so something to use a a base would be very helpful, at least for the early stuff. I might have to dust off my 3D modeling skills and try my hands at 3D printing.
I'm not sure if this is really going to be a wargames project or more of a general modeling project; my current vision is that the general balance of European peace is maintained so the Czechoslovakians are able to avoid war (though they might be involved in peace-keeping operations, particularly once the Cold War ends); the stuff they export sees plenty of action in the hands of others though. And it might be fun to do this theoretical Czechoslovakian army up for various Cold War goes hot scenarios.
