Decided to focus more on the last things to do on the house so the hobby has been playing the 2nd or third fiddle. I did start some concrete on the Fix-r-upper, added the vents, made the doors, did the broken parts of the concrete and added a thin layer of filler but not 100% sure it will stick, the mix felt very dry this time. Also, while clearing out stuff to sell, found a Italeri 1/35 water trailer which, even if oversized, will work fine as a nice LOS blocker in all rusty baby blue.

Aluminium fly screen was used as rebar, covered with a thin sheet of foam

Used the remains of various sheets to make a easy frame for the steel doors. Handles are a small type of staple.

I've become a huge fan of the Miniart sets of 1/48 stuff. Nice crisp plastic, and excellent decals for not a whole lot of money. The Russian flags, 1 is for a mate, the other for my own 15mm Russians, though might just add one here and there in the Stalker build. The Tamiya one is for the Czech Hedgehogs which I've seen the Russians use painted white etc at entrances as blockers.

A bit big, but it just holds more water.

Drilled out the pump and added solder wire, will drape that naturally once the basing has fully set.

What I want it to look, but in blue, but with the same rust and wear on the frame and wheels.
