i have this idea....pictured below but i have uncertainties......im not sure if the half track is to close to the barracade, or if the buildings will dwarf the models and make it seem that the buildings are the focal point......do any of u guys think it s a good idea?

WOW! thanks so much lolok! the pics are awesome! Today i cut pieces of wood for the houses.....but i have a problem.....i need dimensions for the buildings, how tall they are the four story ones and where the windows and doors are.....i can take a guess from the pics i have but numbers would be better...if anyone has a site where i can get those that would help
yea, its kinda early i didnt even order the kit yet but starting this will be a side project from what im doing right now

Yes,there were 10 of them in Warsaw but none captured.They were with the 500 Sturm panzer pioniere abteilung. By the way.most barricades were built with rubble and the sidewalk flagstones which they ripped up.Also they used those big round cable drums used for street cabling. Some used tram cars tipped on their sides.So not many tables and chairs,they used them for fuel in their hiding places.

Hi Double D,
If you shoot me your E,Mail address I will scan the profiles for you.The captured Hetzer is best.They also had a couple of panthers and a few Ausf D's
I am doing the Ausf,having to design and print my own decals though for the Polish eagles they painted on the bonnet and rear. Which vehicle are you going for?
I did the M.Models 90mm Winged Hussar last year.It was shown at the Warsaw palace of Culture and science exhibition last Christmas. It costs 450 Zloty here but is a great display piece.

One of you guys should do one of those super-cool Winged Usarian Komradz for the 1680s. With the big wings on their backs, the helmet with the big nasal guard, the 3/4 plate armour and the long red and white lance? YES!

Now that is Polish armour!

Hi Double D,
Just go to www.warsawuprising.com lots of pics,films and info.More than enough Ideas for Dios. The captured machines repainted with Polish flags and mottos make a more interesting layout.
I have the wydawnictwo militaria softcover No 204/148 on the uprising.lots of photo's. The main captured vehicles were the hetzer,Ausf D and Panther tank. the most famous was the home made armored car KUBUS which is still just down the road in the Army museum along with other juicy pieces of german armor and russian stuff.
The publishers address is.......www.militaria.net.pl
If you really need some shots I can scan and send you the color profiles from the mag.

Well,I am an ex-pat brit now living here in Warsaw with my beautiful Polish lady.Nice to know there are a few members here in Poland. I am lucky to have a load of model shops here in Warsaw and am currently working up a diorama of the Uprising using AFV clubs new Ausf D. A couple were captured by the insurgents and one was paraded through the streets with one patriot standing in the back with a huge Polish flag. No problem with figures as the insurgents wore german uniforms and just tore off all insignia and wore red and white arm bands or helmet bands. I did want to do the hetzer nicknamed Phat but cannot find a 1/35 one here.Never mind. That TV series is on every couple of months!!! Hey Matt,where in Poland are you going..If you need any LHS Addresses,just ask.Warsaw is bulging with new LHShops now.The new Mirage model superstore is opening here in October..A whole office block just stuffed with Models they promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool [8D]

I'm living in Poland, and have some limited access to resources, so if there's anything I could do to help, let me know. You'll find good refernces from these publishers:

Kagero - Polish/English military history and monographs
AJ Press - Polish, Polish/English, English military history and monographs

Other resources:

http://www.jadar.com.pl/start-a.htm
http://www.part.pl/
http://www.swiat-modeli.com/index.php
http://derela.republika.pl/linki.htm

The correct way to say "I'm Polish" would be "Ja jestem polakiem."

Bawcie sie dobrze!!
