Why Would I Want Scaffolding?

Movie crews use scaffolds all the time.

So more than just construction workers.

But also TV crews too.

Most of my wargames and many of my set ups have media in them.

Help the morale of the troops if they know mom is back home watching.

This is about 6 inches tall.

Its all plastic and pretty sturdy.

Lights on the side and from above to light the scene.

Big heavy camera and boom microphone.

Camera crew from LOD Enterprises.  

Adventure figures from Elastowit, in Ukraine.
 

Scaffold

I got this scaffold on Amazon a while ago.

It is a really nice kit.

Made in Japan by a company I never heard of before.

It makes a nice scaffold.

It is about 1/32nd scale.  Its a two pack and they stack or fit side by side.
 

Finishing Trucks

Trucks waiting to dry.

Finally finishing painting these many trucks.

Probably close to 100 of the various types in total.

The Soviet Army will have a reasonable supply train.

And the engineers will have heavy dump trucks.

Somehow a Roskopf BTR-60 open top managed to sneak in there.  It's the only one I have, sadly.
 

Painting Trucks

My painting techniques have been getting a workout this last month.

The wheels are very time consuming.

Note to Roskopf BTR-152 in the middle, both have been slightly modified by a previous owner.  I think the one with the flat roof originally had a Roco SdKfz 234/1 turret on it.

These desperately need the window frames painted.

So do these!

I paint with a brush but I keep a cotton swab handy.  I use it to wipe off any excess paint that gets on the windows.  Tamiya can be cleaned with water and so I dip the swab with water if the first wipe does not work.

I use a toothpick to spin the wheels so I don't have to touch them while painting.
