Inspired by mate Mark at "1866 and all That", I have made may own modest attempts at some Russian village buildings. They are not up to Marks standards, but I still think they are reasonably good and will certainly "do" me for any Ostfront 28mm solo games.
The village from above - church is a Perry plastic kit!
House with a water pump to the left, large barn to the right
The other two house and the standalone water pump
In no particular order - this is house number 1
I copied the water pump unashamedly from Marks blog - but I made the first one a bit "chunky" - this second attempt, in the back yard of the house, was better, I think.
House number two has a small crop of unidentified root vegetables out back - potatoes, perhaps?
House three was my first attempt I think - it is the smallest of the buildings
The standalone water pump with figure for scale - as I say, a bit over sized perhaps - but I will still use it probably!
A large barn - I realised it's not quite finished off - I need to "tone down" the black iron hinges on the large double doors (above)
The Perry church is, of course, intended for N America - but I think I can get away with it on the Ukranian steppe (just about!)
And here is a quick preview of what I am working on currently, between painting Red Army tanks
I should probably have 20-30 of these for a proper BUA scenario a la Stalingrad or the Battle of Berlin - but not sure I will do that many - storage being a major concern if I could actually be bothered to create that many ruins!
