Looks like the hoard is assembling.  :D

They always said the Russians would have snow on their boots when they came.

Lovely work.

Nice.

Is that the skateboard that was teased on the Empress thread?

Never ventured into this subforum before. No surprise it's one of your logs that dragged me in... Absolutely incredible stuff as ever, mate. I could almost feel the biting cold in those earlier pictures of the ruined buildings, super thematic and atmospheric.

Thanks everyone for your comments  :)

It’s a OOP 1/43 diecast of the vehicle that Empress are making  :)

Thanks mate - the buildings aren’t made by myself, but the winter theme obviously means I can use a lot of my Game of Thrones gaming mats, trees etc  :D

More air support on the way  ;)

Especially for Dirk...an antiquated but deadly SU-7 Fitter fighter-bomber.

Would have been a reserve aircraft by this point but pressed back into service as losses mounted.

The original model wasn’t built by me, but I rescued it from the scrapyard with a repair job  :)

Just lovely. I am thinking of picking up a SU22 for my East Germans as well.

DO IT!!!! and post up some photos  8)

I can’t really take much credit for that last update....the buildings are professionally made, and the aircraft was originally built/painted by someone else...I just fixed it up and touched up a few dinks...

And the photos were taken with my battered old iPhone  :D

Ooh, I like that! Of course it would be Radiohead’s choice of Soviet air support. ‘Fitter, happier, more productive…..’

I think you have almost convinced me to buy the updated, swing version of that beast.

Nice Fitter.  Looks very good!

I apologize in advance for the following question though:  How long will it fly before it breaks down?   :o
