A model of a Czechoslovak heavy fortification work in 1:1000 scale from the Czech maker ROP o.s. The subject is the infantry casemate R-H-S 80 U potucku, meaning by the brook, one of the surface works of the Hanicka artillery fort in the Orlicke hory mountains. The model captures the overall shape of the work, the way it is divided up and how it is set into the slope; at 1:1000 scale a casemate tens of meters long fits into a few centimeters.
The Hanicka fort belongs to the system of heavy fortifications that Czechoslovakia built in the second half of the 1930s in the northeast of the country. It is made up of six surface works linked by underground passages, but construction was not finished by the autumn of 1938. The U potucku casemate was concreted in October 1937 and is one of the smaller works of the fort. Infantry casemates provided the perimeter defense: they covered the approaches and the neighboring works with flanking fire and stopped the enemy from getting close to the main fighting works and to the entrances to the underground.
A model at so small a scale does not stand on a large number of parts but on a clean surface and a convincing setting in the terrain. Sand the surfaces lightly before painting, break the burrs off and fill the joints. A light gray base captures a concrete surface, a dark wash over it brings out the joints and shadows, and a dry brush in a lighter shade picks out the edges. Darken the embrasures and entrances so that they do not look flat. Add fine scatter and low static grass to the terrain around the model; with this work it is also worth suggesting the watercourse it is named after.
The model is supplied unpainted. Paints, glue, a base and terrain materials are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
