I have two of these that will do for an under-strength company, once I get the other one finished
This came to me in the box of goodies from Nate
I did a lot of experimental paint work with this, it turned out okay but the next one will be done in a dark green
Can't see my cold war stuff going much past this era of kit, but you never know...
Converted anti-tank rifle figures
MMGs from the HaT WW1 set
These will form LMG or possibly weapons platoons
The donor figures for that combination
Another MMG option, for variety
A couple of painted examples 
Russian Guards formations have both 82 and 120mm mortar platoons
Some different figure combinations
Guards regiment, about 3/4 finished by the look of it
Standard infantry regiment, similar to a Guards one, just not quite so many supporting elements
A couple more additions from the master scratch-builder, Gerard Davey of Hokitika
These ones are covered which is a nice touch that adds a bit of variety, wheels from the Airfix 88mm set
The full fleet
Battalion command stand, for CD this represents a group of between five and ten men
Mortar platoon, Matchbox figures with head-swaps
LMG platoon, unfortunately not the same scale as the others, part of several such equipped figures sent to me last year from Ireland
Most figures in this unit had backpacks added for variety
One of the company command platoons, no idea what set the figure on the right comes from, couldn't find any reference to it on PSR. Anyway, it had a SLR so off with its head
A before shot of a platoon which includes a modified figure
And after
A platoon from the fourth line company wearing NBC kit
The full fourth company in NBC kit
Not my best work this. Had run out of the glue I normally use and the substitute had an awful reaction with the plastic. Still it will do for gaming
In service by the late 1930s and apparently still in use
I originally planned to use this just for WW2 games but have since decided it will feature in cold war ones as well
Quite good figures with reasonably good detail, a useful addition to a collection I think.
Just needs a wash and a bit of tidying up, this was another of the items Nate sent me
An Airfix kit, made and undercoated, all I had to do was finish it off, nice
The decals are from a truck kit and the Mk VIb
This brings my number of cold war tanks to three, the other two being Chieftains.
Orion figures in highly original and imaginative poses. For CD, this will count as a recon-patrol stand - the addition of dogs in the unit increases spotting ability
The light hasn't done me any favours but we haven't seen the sun here for a while now, the joys of living in a rain forest!
All at about the 3/4 finished stage. 
The Airfix and ACTA sets are for my cold war British collection. For the 4.5s, I'd like to do two batteries, one each for the First and Second World Wars. Haven't quite finished the Airfix Russians I'm working on as I got sidetracked with another small project, show you soon.
These are about half finished, and I've actually got, more or less, a complete regiment to this stage. This is one company from that unit. The Esci officer had his base removed for a better height match with his Airfix subordinates
Another company from a different battalion. This one has a command machine gun platoon; certainly unusual by WW2 standards. Figure size a consideration still, I went with the Hong Kong copy figure because it was a better height match, crude figure at best!
One of the mortar platoons, bases removed but still larger than anything else. Will see how login and comments go, and hopefully show you a few more bits and pieces from of my recent cold war additions.
Still can't comment on any Blog including my own, login issues, etc, etc. Have switched to the laptop with little noticeable improvement.
