Russo-Balt card model
Permalink   


Here are a couple of photos of my paper model of the Russo-Balt armored car from the allfrompaper.ru site. When printed full size on A4 paper it scales out to 1/43rd as the designer intended, but it shrinks down a bit when printed on letter sized paper, and the resulting model is @ 1/45th scale. I mounted it on a paper base with textures downloaded from various net sources.

The color of the original model is a bit garish, so I used Photoshop to quiet things down a little. The only other modification to the kit are wire grab handles, visible in the closeup.

It's showroom clean, so I tell myself it just rolled off the Russo-Balt assembly line. In reality, I was too eager to start the next project, and neglected to weather it.

Never found the Russo-Balt an interesting machine before - but now I may do, because that's a very nice model; I second what Ian P says.
