This is a rather interesting build I did recently. I'ts a kit from a Ukrainian company called UMmt, in 1/72nd scale. The plastic was pretty soft, and all surface details had to be applied with a sheet of photo etch (which oddly had no fret...). If I butilt it again, I'd make the base color browner, but otherwise I'm content. The track I made myself using HO scale rails and coffee stirrers for ties. I've found some photos of this railcar, which was made by the Finns largely out of components of Russian tanks between the Winter and Continuation wars.

Cool subject and cool setting. The tall trees and rail look so cold and desolate, just waiting for something to happen any moment!
Great effect. Thanks for posting!
