Aleksandr Butin has sent Armorama a large number of images covering one of his latest builds of a Meng Whippet tank in 1/35th scale and a Frankenstein type figure.

Beautiful! I'm impressed with the interior detail as well. Did you work from any particular plans?

I really like this, and the peak inside is GREAT! Didn't realize that Russian-bound Whippets used the red and white recognition markers, but I bow to your research.

Beautiful job Aleksandr!

Perfectly constructed, painted and photographed. And if that wasn’t enough, set into the base so that you can feel the weight of the Whippet. And if that wasn’t enough congratulations for spot-lighting the little-known or forgotten British expedition to save the Romanov cause; way too late, too little and bound to fail. Ah the grass in the tracks, the stowage, the dio base/grass, the figure...everything!

Superb
