    I have been following the war in Ukraine since it kicked off in Feb. On another site they have a blog posting images of vehicles in the field for this theatre of war. Anyway, steering away from the politics and focusing on the images and vehicles, I became inspired and decided to invest in few bits and bobs to create a vignette depicting a Ukrainian deployment of "welcome hosts" to the Russian "visitors".

    This is what I received in the post. To be honest, I was giddy with excitement on opening the package from Ukraine and I was not disappointed.

    I thought the little comic and sweets were a great touch.

    You beat me, Gavin (@snowman). I just got a kit on Ebay from the PM Store in Ukraine and got the same cartoon. I was thinking about posting it, but you beat me to it. It is very cool that in the midst of a nasty war that people can still be fun and creative. I am amazed that the Ukrainians are still producing great models, as well as being able to send them out to modelers.

    It will be interesting to see what you make from this, Gavin @snowman.

    I can imagine your reaction when opening this package, Gavin @snowman
    What a nice way to receive this package.
    They are making the best out of it and try to think positive despite the suffering eachday.

    Great one @snowman, my next armor project also frames in Ukraine! I already completed a Ukrainian KFOR BRDM 2 earlier in the year as a side track!

    Ukrainian BRDM-2UM KFOR, Pristina, Kosovo (Trumpeter 1:35)
    I plan to build a HIMARS Ukrainian style! I follow this conflict on a daily basis mainly on Twitter. If you like podcasts and discussions, I can recommend the volunteer Mriya report Twitterspace. Some refs: Take care!
