1:1000 T-S 44 ,,Na pahorku,,

The object T-S 44 Na pahorku in 1:1000 scale

The model captures an object designated T-S 44 with the code name Na pahorku. The number after the abbreviation of the sector is the sequential designation of the object, so this is the direct neighbor of the object with the number one lower, which is available as well. The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

An elevated position and what follows from it for a model

Objects set on a rise differ from those sunk into a slope in the way they are worked with on a base. The model is visible from more sides, so it makes sense to finish the side and rear walls as well and not to underestimate the even painting of the whole perimeter. In 1:1000 scale the base can be made from several layers of thin cardboard or polystyrene, which will create a gentle hillock. Cover the transition between the model and the terrain with a fine sprinkle, otherwise a visible joint will remain. Given the small scale, choose the finest possible material for the sprinkle; coarse sand would look like boulders on the model.

Building and painting tips

Check whether the parts sit down in one plane and level the production residue with fine abrasive paper. Choose the glue according to the material of the parts. Apply the paint thinly, ideally with an airbrush, because brush marks are fairly prominent on a small model. Build the concrete shade on a light gray base with fine irregular patches, emphasize the sharp edges with a dry brush and darken the joints with a thin wash. At the end, unify the model with a matte clear coat, so that the surfaces do not shine.

Who the model is for

• Collectors of fortification objects by their recorded designation
• Those who want to build neighboring objects of one sector
• Builders of small models on a terrain base of their own
• Modelers looking for a subject with small demands on space

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
