I recently heard the question from several guys, whether any soviet 70th or 80th cars exist in 1:35. The answer is unluckily no. Thus I decided to tackle this, and produce a resin kit (or a series of resin kits if the first goes well). If done, it would be 3D printed with manual polishing afterwards, then cast in resin. I have the skills and equipment for that, but would like to hear if there's the interest. I also would be interested, if someone would like to cooperate, be it a company or a person. I would be using either a free or a commercial 3d model for the base. Following cars are considered: VAZ LADA-2101 VAZ LADA-2103 VAZ LADA-2104 VAZ LADA-2105 VAZ LADA-2106 VAZ LADA-2107 Moskwitch-412 Moskwitch-2140 GAZ-21 GAZ-24 ZAZ Zaporozhets 966/968/968M ZAZ Zaporozhets 965 Please vote  |

My vote(s) would go to the GAZ-21 and Moskwitch-412. It should be fairly easy to do several versions of the Moskwitch, simply by changing he grill - there was also a cool rallye versionAlthough not on your list, how about ZIL-111, or ZIL-114? |

ZILs are definitely interesting, but were not a regular sight on the soviet city streets The idea is to make a car which could fit to any soviet cold war era diorama from early 70es to modern. |

After doing polls in lots of forums and facebook, following vehicles are the winners
1) Shared by GAZ-24 and VAZ-2101
2) GAZ-21
3) Shared by Moskvitch 408/412 and VAZ-2106
I would be starting my work on one of the first placed models immediately, depending on for which of them I get the better 3D model.

After considering the work to do, I decided to start with the VAZ-2101. It is technologically easier to model then GAZ-24, due to flat front, and is also smaller so 3d printing costs would be less, thus reducing the risk. I purchased the following 3d model, and already started to "dismember" it into parts:  |

It is very early in the process now. But could you estimate the cost of final kits?

Hi, it is quite early, and lots of work is to be done. I however expect it to be around 50+-30 euro. Much would depend on the number of preorders, done by both private guys and distributors. I would of course be offering the kit to the distributors, but I do not know if they would order this...

I just got a professional 3D designer (the original author of the model) committed to prepare the 3D model for printing, and to detail the interior, to make the work for me. I think this way it would be most effective.

....how could i miss this?? Het My vote goes to the Lada. I would love to do a "first Chechen war" diorama, with a Trumpeter T-80 crushing a Lada in the streets of Grozny. But the 1/35 Lada's were missing. Idea shelfed as "dreamproject". But now i read this...

Hi, Lada 2101 is good in progress, I got yet another variant of 3D model from the designer, if it is ok, it would go to prototyping Takes more time to design then I anticipated, but I hope this year. |
