Maybe it's for you interest to see what other countries did with their little soldiers.
The scale is 1/72mm.

Hope you like them.

Nice little diorama. But that is not the Stalingrad Train station No. 1.
The train station is huge.

I just spent the last 2 months building the train station in 3D graphics for a computer game. Including the Barmaly fountain and the Museum of Defense of Tsaritsyn.

Nice, thanks for sharing! I'm into 28mm so have bought some S-Scale train track, need to get it into a game soon.

Mobius -- what game is it?? Are you working on the new Red Orchestra release? Can you share any screen shots?? Love to see your artwork on this!

Mobius29 Jun 2010 6:09 p.m. PST

It's Panzer Command. The mega-mega-patch.
But for some reason my mouse on my model making computer went south this morning and I can't get anything out of it. Luckily I turned in the models two days ago.

When I get it working again I'll get a screen shot.

Mobius29 Jun 2010 7:08 p.m. PST

Here is the real station and also my model.

It's not exact as the photo was taken before the Communists took over. They later added a 3rd story to 2/3rds the station.

Now that I worked with this for quite some time I can identify it in a number of wartime photos. Often it is labeled a 'factory' or other building as it looks like a big office building from the other side. And it had the domes and roof destroyed.

Sweet!

SBminisguy29 Jun 2010 8:01 p.m. PST

Youch, that would be a heck of a terrain piece in any scale!

Tough to keep it all straight when you're linking that much stuff.

Lovely work, Mobius.

Nice to see some of our Spanish wargamers contributing.

Mal, he might not know he is contributing, the pics were lifted from this site:

And I don't know about you, but I can't read Spanish. Very irritating. Shouldn't this stuff be on the Spanish speaking board?

'And I don't know about you, but I can't read Spanish.'

Me neither, but Google Translate helps enormously…

I get pretty far, thanks for asking.

Mal Wright Fezian30 Jun 2010 9:01 a.m. PST

Well….ummmm….he sort of….errrr….said that it was sort of like in that Stalingrad place…and ummmm….it involves trains and stuff. huh?

Oh…and it was said in…ummm….Spanish! thumbs up

Well….I think it wos! I just sort of clicked the translator thing. grin

Mehoy Nehoy30 Jun 2010 2:28 p.m. PST

Mike, are you saying your inability to read Spanish is irritating? Your English is somewhat ambiguous.

Flat Beer and Cold Pizza30 Jun 2010 8:00 p.m. PST

Ain't that a T34-85 in the photograph? Still, I like the snow effect.

Mobius09 Sep 2010 9:16 p.m. PST

OK, I can show it now. My 3D model of the Stalingrad train station No. 1.

Looks cool. I'll make mental note for mini scenario terrain.

<sarcasm> By all means, let's shield ourselves from the inconvenience and irritation of coming across material in languages we do not understand by urging that offending sites be banished to some obscure corner of TMP. </sarcasm>

Geez, Mike, if you can't be bothered to take the time to see what a foreign language site just may or may not have to offer, that is entirely up to you. In which case, just hit the "back" button and ignore it.

But as far as I am concerned, the existence of a Spanish Wargaming board- and least of all, your irritation- are not good enough reasons for why people should not be able to post a link relevant to any given message board to sites in languages other than English. Not everyone here is a monoglot.

I welcome links to sites on topics that may interest me in any language. Sometimes I just ignore them. Other times I follow them up. It helps if they are in languages that I can cope with to varying degrees- French or Japanese in my case. Other times I'm able to make use of translation software- and, where possible, personal contacts- to help me out.

In any event, the time taken to persevere with the language hurdles has often paid off. I have gleaned much useful information over the years that way, especially on subjects where English material is hard to come by or even non-existent.

Just noticed the bump on this.

I played a scenario on Mobius' map last night – very convincing depiction of the Stalingrad train station No. 1 – getting to be one of the most famous train stations in wargaming history. It is a focal point in the ASL game Valor of the Guards also.

tuscaloosa11 Sep 2010 7:29 a.m. PST

Aha, is the view given in the link just above looking east or looking west (or facing towards the Volga or facing away from it)?

Mobius11 Sep 2010 7:44 a.m. PST

Facing the Volga (east).
You can find the spot using Google Earth. The new station is exactly where the old station was. They were different sizes but you can see the outline of the old station in the concrete of the parking area.

Nice Dio for Stalingrad…

Stalingrad arguably had the most famous grain elevator in military history. Is it still standing?

Nice dio, but it doesn't look remotely like the Stalingrad surrender scenes that we are all familiar with.

Steve Wilcox05 Jun 2021 8:54 a.m. PST

Stalingrad arguably had the most famous grain elevator in military history. Is it still standing?

"The Grain Elevator remains standing, but unused and closed off, today. A statue commemorating the defenders stands in front of the elevator on Рабоче Крестьянская ул. (Raboche Krest'yanskaya St.).":

ATTACK OF THE ZOMBIE THREAD!

(Coming soon to a forum near you)

Mark 1 Supporting Member of TMP11 Jun 2021 5:13 p.m. PST

Not that I have anything against a reasonable "Walking Dead" story, mind you…

So I'm looking at that pic of the "Nice Dio for Stalingrad" that marks the return from the grave of this topic, and I'm wondering …

Is there a link to this modeller, to this dio? Is it really labelled as a Stalingrad diorama?

I'm pretty confident that there were no ISU-152s involved in the Stalingrad campaign. So I'd be interested in reading the modeller's story line that goes with the diorama.
