1:35 Příslušník SNB-Dohled nad sil. provoz. (Kontrola ŘP) 1988

Figure of an SNB officer, traffic duty, 1988, 1:35 scale

A collector's model figure of an officer of the SNB, the National Security Corps, on traffic duty, specifically checking a driver's license, set in the year 1988. The figure comes from a Czech maker and is produced in resin, or rather by 3D printing. It serves to bring dioramas and scenes of the late 1980s to life.

The real subject

The SNB, the National Security Corps, was the armed security force of the Czechoslovakia of the day. The figure captures a uniformed officer in typical period dress during a routine traffic stop, a rewarding subject for civilian-flavored dioramas with period vehicles and machinery.

Building and painting tips

First wash any remaining uncured print resin off the 3D-printed resin parts and clean them of supports. Use cyanoacrylate for gluing. Apply a primer before painting, work in acrylics meant for figures and pick out the detail with washes and drybrushing.

Who the figure is for

• Builders of dioramas of socialist Czechoslovakia
• Collectors of historical uniformed figures
• Modelers rounding out a scene with period vehicles

The figure is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
