I've been thinking about doing a backdrop for the Tamiya 1/35 T-34/76 that I recently built and I've been scratching my head how to go about it, not really having much of a clue about Russian buildings the only option was to find inspiration online.
I found a couple of images that seemed appropriate so I came up with a cunning plan, I held a 1/35 scale figure up to my laptop screen and enlarged the images until they seemed to match the scale of the figure.
This is where the cunning bit comes into it, I got my steel ruler and measured the size of the building, although its not going to be accurate it is however a starting point.
I sat at my table with some pink foam and balsa wood and started fiddling around trying to knock up a basic Russian house, just a framework for further improvement and this is where its at right now. I will update this as and when but I am quite possibly the slowest builder of models in the entire universe.![DSCF5628 (1).JPG DSCF5628 (1).JPG](https://data.www.scalemodeladdict.com/attachments/96/96240-52b56a33c16ed9f37cbaa661ad4953ed.jpg)
