Scratch-building the PP 2 Armoured Train

This is a BLog describing my attempt to scratch-build the Polish PP 2 "Smialy" armored train. I had for a long time wanted to build a armoured train. There is simply something about the sheer size, the fortress / battleship like appearance that appeals to me.

I choose the Smialy train, because, being one of the first dedicated armoured trains in Polish service, and having a notable history, it has received quite a bit of exposure in the eyes of the contemporary media and the historians of today. Meaning, there are plenty of resources regarding the train.

I hope that this BLog may help other modelers by showing how not to do a specific task, and the same time the modelers reading the BLog may help me with encouragement and technique.
