Ian Bonner
Brownsburg, Indiana
An Imperial Russian soldier sits on the running board of a Copper State Models 1/35 scale Lanchester armored car strumming a balalaika for a cat in Ian’s peaceful vignette. “A black cat, possibly a bad omen,” he says. We can’t speak to the fate of the soldier bard, but any bad omens skipped Ian as he finished the vehicle out of the box with Tamiya and AK Interactive Real Color paints. It sits on an insulation-foam base with DAS modeling clay groundwork and static grass flora.
