1950-80s Russians

Bit of a test post this one

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.

  2. Joy! It lives! Hugely frustrating not being able to reply to people who have taken the time to comment, will get the kids to include Chrome in their morning offerings tomorrow:)

  4. Great looking figures. Well painted. I am still having blogger dramas and I have to get on the wifes laptop to comments. But I have been keeping up with the work.

  6. Perhaps you'd be pleased to know that Elhiem's just released a proper range of Cold War Ruskies?

  8. Thanks guys appreciate the comments. Students informed me that Chrome's been available for some time! Roundsmore, like the look of the figures but most of my collection is plastic, how do the two compare?
