Hi All!

This is my next project. It' s a 1/72 ATS-59 artillery tractor from Balaton modell (H).
The resin kit is nice and bubble-free. The box contains 101 resin, 116 photo etched and 4 clear parts.
I changed the wood imitation parts, and I creat new ones of veener. I made a couple of storage box.
The original vehicle was on display in downtown Belgrad.

I hope you like it!

Peter,

That is an outstanding build! I like the usage of color. The figures are excellent too. You even included a small piece of storm metal grading on the street. First time seeing what appears to be a T-55 chassis being used in reverse (drive wheels up front, idlers wheels at the rear). And the first time seeing that type of road wheel too.

The base is very fitting and interesting. Beautiful project! Thanks for sharing and posting your build. Hoping to see more of your work here.

Excellent build. Nice weathering and choise of colors.
It's good to see a non military theme for a change.
I wouldn't want to use such a vehicle for civilian use, not with the price of fuel these days .

P.A.

Your presentation is excellent. I am really liking the whole setting, simple, but extremely well done - And a concept we don't see too often. Your weathering is great as well, the wood really stands out. Great work all around!
