Little thing I made a few years back, maybe someone will find it useful

Anolder build of mine, scale is around 1/43-45
One of three fake German tanks made for the 1999 Playstation 1/Dreamcast game "Panzer Front". The motivation for the creation of these vehicles is still a mystery, as the game was supposed to be a "simulator". In the game the tank is called "Panzerkampfwagen VK6600(h) E-79", which in itself does not make sense; E-79 would imply it would weigh over 79 tons, but VK6600 would imply it to be in the 66 ton class. Even the nomenclature "VK6600" is wrong, VK numbers do not end in 0, they end in 1, 2, 3, and so on, for variations of that tank. For example, VK45.01, VK45.02, and VK45.03.

The names "Schwarzwolf" (Black Wolf) and "Zekke" were not from the game Panzer Front, but have since popped up on the internet, as has the name "Panther III". On many dubious websites and forum posts made by uninformed people, the E-79 is passed off as a real vehicle from the end of World War II, often with a convincing story about its supposed developement. However even those who do not have a great interest in the history of vehicles they model or play now recognize the E-79 as fake, and know its real story. The E-79 is probably one of the oldest and most known fake tanks.

The Light Infantry Utility Vehicle (LIUV), also known as the First Order snowspeeder (or snow speeder) was a wedge-shaped assault craft used in frigid climates.The snowspeeder was manned by one First Order snowtrooper, and could hold two others, one of which could take control of the forward-mounted FWMB-10 repeating blaster cannon. The gunner usually rode in the prow, scanning for targets. The mounting attachment gave the gunner a wide, lateral field of fire. The gun could also decompress or elevated to defend against aerial and ground threats. The blaster could be removed and placed in the prow. Because of the extreme conditions it was used in, the snowspeeder had to have heating coils built into the seats to support the crew. The snowspeeder also had mini-deflector shields to protect the crew from flying debris.

Some pictures of my latest build from different angles in the process of building and before the taking the main pic.
On the second image you can see the ugly back side of the scene. I usualluy only build the rhings that are going to be visible on the final shot, saves me a lot of time, parts and energy. 
On the third image there's a way I attached the minifigure to the ceiling: used the round 1x1 plates with a hole to tie a thread to it. Official lego ones were too short, so I just used a cotton thread and a cut flex rube. Took me some time, but was worth it at the end. Couldn't stabilise it for some time as well (see the video) 😀
Hope this information will help you to create the builds of yourselves@

Near future setting and brutalist/modernist architecture have always had a very strong association with each other for me. Can't think of any other architecture style to look more futuristic (and simpler to build).

So, when I decided to make another future military indoor scene I wasn't thinking too long about choosing the surrounding. I also really like the light and shadow play on the sharp edges and crude geometric shapes, that definitely adds more depth to the whole scene.

I used some of my recent mods here (pistol carbine and plate carrier with SMG pouches), that I made specifically for this scene. Behind the scenes will be posted later.
Please reac, if you enjoyed this post.

Posting the promised behind the scenes pictures of the latest shot of mine.
-First pic:
It's how it looked just after taking on my camera.

-Second pic:

An overall view of the scene, I put a couple of building at the back to create a feel of a dense urban cityscape.

-Third pic:

Top view, better look at the buildings, shows that I only built the frontal sides of them.

-Fourth pic:

Unedited raw iamge.

-Fifth pic:
Already edited picture, all unnecessary dust removed, greener color correction added.
Hope you liked the post, please react if you did 😁

All the characters and events are fictitious, any similarities are coincidental. Behind the scenes post is coming a couple of days.
Hope you all are doing well.
