Streets of Russia?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 1, 2003 3:43 PM
I'm planning to do a diorama of a Tiger tank rolling through a town somewere in Russia. My question is what type of streets did they have, My first guess would be cobbles or some type of paving.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Cowboy [C):-)]

my guess is if its a small village, the streets will be dirt, and if it is a more signifigant village, the streets would be cobble stone or something like that. just a guess, I havnt visited there yet.

Here's one link to a painting of German tanks on their way to a village using the village road.

Depends on the streest, bigger cities are a lot like Vienna, Prague, etc.

Many of the movies in days gone by that play in Russia were shot in Austria, Hungary, etc as the location are very similar.
Example:
Firefox the Movie was shot in Vienna as the subway & town is very similar.

Personally, I didn't see much difference between the old-town in Vienna and Moscow.

Farmhouses and rural areas got quiet a lot of differences.

Hope this helps.
