Swedish S-Tank (The Stridsvagn 103)

I am proud to show you 15mm Swedish S-Tank or The Stridsvagn 103, that I finished at the beginning of December, but because of Christmas and New Year I found time to post it only now :)  

There should be a cupola MG, but I haven't unified this element yet. There are be 15 parts (actually its 14 unique parts, because two headlights are identical, so there should be be 14 parts on mold and 15 parts in a pack (I need to unify Machine Gun))

Alive and kicking!

I am back from my illness, so I can continue all my projects :) I painted lots of miniatures and want to share them. Today's miniatures are two Hotchkiss H39 tanks from QRF.

15mm T1 Cunningham available for sale from QRF

Four variants of 15mm T1 Cunningham are available for sale from Quick Reaction Force store.

Here are 3D renders of all 4 variants. From above to bottom:

T1 (1926) Cunningham (sloped turret, short gun, early hull)

T1E1 (1927) Cunningham (sloped turret, short gun, late hull with catwalks)

T1E2 (1929) Cunningham (cylindrical turret, short gun, late hull with catwalks)

T1E3 (1930) Cunningham (cylindrical turret, long gun, late hull with catwalks) – up gunned T1E2 modification

Please note, that T1 from first picture is a hybrid with the early war hull but late turret with long gun

Ninth planet of Taya translation progress

I started translating Soviet era diafilms (filmstrips) and even created a new Soviet Diafilm blog. The first filmstrip called "Ninth planet of Taya" and was first released in 1964 in black and white and later in colorized version.

LOLO!

T1 Cunningham first sample.

Just painted the first sample of T1 Cunningham (early hull and late turret) that was printed and casted by QRF Models Limited. Its a small tank and the model is 4cm long and 2cm tall.

Test of Soviet Diafilm translation :)

While waiting for your comments and opinion on my possible English translation of science fiction Diafilms (Filmstrips) from Soviet Union, I decided to make a sample translation of third frame from "Ninth planet of Teya (1980)". 

Here you can see an original and a translated frame. To keep the feel of Russian Cyrillic font (pretty simple and boring font in my opinion, but it is the widest used font in Russia), I choosed regular Arial font. As you can see sentences in English language are much shorter than in Russian. 

3rd frame in Russian.
