Comrade Josephs housing solutions for good Socialists
« on: August 07, 2016, 04:27:06 PM »


In preparation for my next project - 28mm Eastern Front WWII - I have scratch-built a collection of houses while I wait for the figures to arrive from The Assault Group and Northstar.



Made mainly from coffee stirrers - yeah, I know :)

More pictures and commentary, as usual, on Scrivsland

Could have lots of uses!

I was expecting concrete architecture apartments. Stalin really hated the peasants, he starved 6million of them in the 20s during the collectivization of the farms into state run projects. The Harvest of Sorrow is what it is called - at least in my family history.

He was all about getting the peasants off the land and into the factories to make, um, tractors. The irony is not lost.

And who will feed those factory workers-ex-peasants? Why, Brother Joe, of course!

Well done on those buildings.  Seems a pity they are going to become all shot up when the troopies arrive.

I like them.
They could be used for a number of periods.

Nice work Scrivs
If you wanted them to look more Russian I would consider putting some shutters on them
