Early War Russians

Finished some more early World War 2 Russians. These 28mm figs are from Plastic Soldier Company and are the Infantry Heavy Weapons box. First up are two teams of AT rifles.

Next is a pair of AT rifles going for a walk.

Next up are four machinegun teams. I failed to notice that on the two walking teams both of the figs are supposed to be pulling the gun. I made them so that only one of them is and the other guy is holding his arm behind him in moral support I guess?

Next is a pair of 50mm and 82mm mortar team.

I should hopefully have one more post before the end of the year.

Soviet 28mm Anti Tank Guns

So it's been a while since I've posted anything, Covid hasn't killed me so, yay. Haven't been painting much of anything really. I've been mainly working on a different type of gaming: role playing! I've been engrossed in Mongoose Publishing 2nd edition Traveller.

I'm the gamemaster for my group and I've got three players and they're running as traders along the Bowman Arm, for those familiar with the classic Traveller Third Imperium setting. I'm a little rusty but I'm enjoying it overall.

So the main focus for this post are the following figures. I actually finished these quite a while ago and just haven't posted them up. These 28mm figures are from the Plastic Soldier Company Soviet 45mm Anti Tank Gun set. Overall the people figures aren't great but the guns are perfectly fine. First up is the 45mm M1937 ATG.

Next up is the 45mm M1942 ATG.

And here's the two guns together.

On my table currently is the Rebel half of the Star Wars Legion core box set. I'll probably be a while painting these guys. I'm going to try and pick up the pace of my painting and I should see if there's some of my New Years resolutions I can wrap up.

'Til next time! Stay safe!

Russians, Russians, Russians!

Recently finished a large box of 57 28mm Russians in summer uniform. These plastic figures are from Plastic Soldier Company. Overall, the sculpts aren't very good. The detail is very soft and varies a fair bit from figure to figure. Some figures have highly detailed faces and others the faces are just featureless flat surfaces. Weird.

I'm not doing Russians for myself, I'm painting these up for a friend as he doesn't have any painting capacity and he wants to have an army for Chain of Command. This will form a good core for a Russian force. Would've been nice to have more riflemen though and less guys with submachineguns.

First up is the whole group.

Here's all the rifle figs.

Followed by the submachinegun equipped figs.

Next are six light machinegun teams.

And finally are all the command related figs.

I did up one of the senior officers as a Commissar.

Next time I'll have some Stormtroopers.
