Good afternoon dear colleagues.
I live in Russia in St.-Petersburg. I am engaged in a hobby about 5 years. I do self-made models and deep conversion 1:35. Recently has begun conversion of model from SKIF 2S1 Gvozdika.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S1
I hope it to you it will be interesting.
My work always begins with studying of drawings and photos.
I am sorry for bad English language.
Yours faithfully, Yan.


hen I draw 3-D model in scale 1:35.
If a detail from a set wrong I do her of plastic.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Your work looks interesting!
I also have one of the kits and thought about a correction-set.

offtopic:
Also I use my 3D-software for building virtual models, but these are not military.
My second interest is soviet/russian space.and I build some rockets, spaceprobes and satellites.
Plans were, to manufacture them using a machine.

Greetings Soeren.
Thanks for interest to my work, now I prepare drawings for sheet plastic, I will spread here work stages.
If the information on the space technics write to me is necessary to you, I will share that I know. Yan

Small news from work

Great progress on your build!
As I wrote, I also have one of these kits.
My plans were, to use this one with a conversion-set... perhaps into the "UR-77 Meteorit" or (if I could get easily one of the metal barrels) to make the original 2S1.
During my actual build (soviet venus landers), I try to make some scatch-made parts and "add-ons". (cables)
Perhaps I also can use this for later projects.


offtopic:
Ahh, you live in St. Petersburg: When you visit the "Telekom-museum" and you see the "Luch"-satellite... you will remember me. (I build a scale-model of this and others for possible manufacturing)
My plans are, to have some models of soviet spacecrafts and satellites.
Also I know another museum in your city, but it´s only for military persons or "as an invitation" of them.

greetings...

one of my favorite vehicles, I am going to follow this build very closely, please post a lot of pictures of your scrathbuilding, and adding of details!

great build!

I like you choice in models Yan. That is a cool looking vehicle and I look forward to seeing you complete it. Good job.

Roy

An amazing bit of scratch-building. I'll be keeping up with this one.

Some new photos from work.



















Best regards, Yan

This is looking very nice. Good luck with it Yan.

Any problems with the pieces fitting together?

One big problem - firm SKIF.
In my work from a set about 10 % of the present details, other details self-made.
Yan

I have a FRUIL set of Gvozdika tracks if your interested ( I bought by mistake).

You can have them free if you pay shipping.

Adam

Adam, it's great, I am ready to pay for delivery, my address in Russia:
194021, Saint-Petersburg, Shatelena str.,26A, office 4.13, Mining-tech office

Ok give me a day or two to dig them out of storage, and will send them off. Sort me out for postage afterwards, once I know how much it cost to send.

further details should probably be by private message.

happy to help!

Adam

Nice! What 3-D programme do you use Yan?

Your model looks great!
I like all the details and scratched parts.

"Kompas-3D" seems to be a good solution for CAD. Thanks for showing this!

I also build 3D-models using this type of software, but never made a real model or model-kit, which I planned. (see my avatar-image and callsign-name)
There are some "in-progress" or nearly completed for a reproducion in 1/48. (soviet satellites and space-probes)

greetings..
Soeren

Hey Yan,

did those tracks arrive yet ? looking forward to this model alot!

Adam
