T-S 53 Na vyhledech 1:1000 is a small model of an object of the Czechoslovak heavy fortifications from the Czech association ROP o.s. The miniature scale is meant for collectors who want to have a whole line together rather than a single large model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A model of the infantry blockhouse T-S 53 with the code name Na vyhledech, meaning at the viewpoints, in 1:1000 scale from the Czech association ROP o.s., which has long devoted itself to models of the Czechoslovak fortifications. For modeling practice 1:1000 is an unusually small scale and it has its point: the object fits in the palm of your hand, so a collector can gradually put a whole row of neighboring blockhouses side by side and get an idea of the spacing and the density of the line.
The designation of the objects of the Czechoslovak heavy fortifications follows a firm logic. The letter abbreviation before the S determines the construction sector — T stands for the Trutnov sector — the S itself is the abbreviation for a blockhouse and the number gives the order of the object within the sector. Each object also had a code name, on this blockhouse Na vyhledech. The blockhouses were built from the mid-1930s under the Directorate of Fortification Works as reinforced concrete objects partly sunk into the terrain. The embrasures pointed sideways along the line, so that neighboring objects covered one another. After the Munich Agreement in the autumn of 1938 most of the fortifications were abandoned without a fight; a number of the objects still stand in the landscape today.
At this scale work with tweezers and a sharp scalpel, not with your fingers. Degrease the model, spray it with a thin undercoat and build the concrete up rather in a lighter gray-beige tone — dark concrete blends into a featureless mass at a small scale. A dark wash drawn into the embrasures and the joints works well, together with a fine dry brush in a lighter shade on the edges. Handle the greenery with fine static grass or ground foam; any coarser material would give the scale away at once.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
