This is my second attempt at this model. The first one was built while I was visiting my son (who was attending Auburn University), and still is on display there at the Hobby Town USA in Auburn, Alabama.
I really like the Zvesda sniper figures so much, I wanted to do it again. This time it's going to be another cold day in... Russia.
Here is my build log as it goes. Will post more as I get it done.

Thanks TRM... If you look at the link you will see the first one that I did. I really enjoyed it and like that way that one came out, so I figured why not make it again just a little different, and since they will be on different coasts, I guess they will never cross paths and others can enjoy it.

As you can see it's pretty much done (unless I decide to fill her up with snow)

I have added a lot of rubble. I scratch built a damaged ladder for them to get up to the 2nd floor and put torn up curtains on the bottom two windows.
Here is the dummy not that I have stuffed him with straw.
