There is a company called paper terrain. A search engine will pull them up with those words. They have nice paper soviet village models.

Another site for good looking paper models and inspiration is miniatures.free-creativity. searching with those words should pull them up. they focus only on buildings of Holland, but a couple of the models could stand in for soviet apartment complexes and office/light commercial buildings found in more developed communities of the Soviet Union.

regards

Not sure within what time you need them, how desperate you are and how many you want, but I could make a bunch for you. What I need is good photos of the sides of buildings (preferably all sides, but two will do for most buildings). And some roof photos. Since I dont live in Russia I can't photograph them myself.

Sorry can't help with the free part, but I think PaperTerrain has some really nice micro scale russian buildings.

Thanks all

Gompel when you say you can make them, do you do this for a living or hobby? I would need anything that looks russian housing small industry and rubble for the Rostov area. It doesnt have to be perfect and some of the buildings could be the same. I would say roughly maybe 20 total to 30 at most. Send me a PM if you want to or pricing etc..

Hey fullmetaljacket, I don't differentiate between doing something for a living or for hobby, it's all the same to me. A living should be given, not earned.
Anyway, I have never seen russian buildings in real and I don't know where I can get photographs from, so you will have to help me with that. What I can do is photo-edit those photographs to make suitable side projections and put them together so you will have a printable exploded view, which you can make into a paper building. Depending on the size of the building and the number of photographs to edit; one building takes about 2-3 hours.

See images for an example:

Google street view for Rostov would be a dirty but easy way to get some building pictures. I just checked but it is not available. The best way would be to contact somebody who can make photographs of buildings in Rostov that were built before your scenario date. If you get somebody crazy enough to do that, I can give you some advise about the photographs themselfs (lighting, zoom level, multiple shots for stitching, obscuring objects, etc).

The paper buildings will be made available for free on my website.
Just let me know if you're still interested.
Patrick

If there are Russian members willing to take photographs or people who have access to pictures of Russian buildings, please let us know.
Thanks,
