Random photoshoot

Its been a while since I had these guys out of their boxes. Wasn't in the mood to use them in a solo game so I decided to just put some of them down for a photoshoot.

All the terrain is scratch-built except for some of the buildings which are printouts from Paper Tiger Armaments.

The Infantry are a mix of ESCI, Italeri, Ceasar miniatures, Plastic Soldier Company, Armoufast and Pegasus Hobbies.

The vehicles are from Armourfast, Italeri, Plastic Soldier Company and Pegasus Hobbies.

$2.  I probably will never use it in a game but at that price

Stavka sends reinforcements

More Soviet infantry.

I picked up a box of Pegasus Hobbies Soviet infantry in summer dress Saturday. I then washed them and glued them to pennies that evening. I also added  a few figures from Plastic Soldier Company's Soviet Heavy weapons box.

I started painting them Sunday noon, by dinner time they were painted, that evening I glued sand to their bases.

Monday I painted the living room ceiling, while it was drying I used some Army Painter Quick Shade (Strong tone) ink/wash whatever they call it, in lieu of my minwax Polyshades miracle dip.

Fit for the battlefield, once I green wash the sand.

I didn't paint a few of the Pegasus Hobbies figures as I didn't have enough bottle-caps to blue tack my bases to.

What I've been doing

What I've been doing

When in previous posts I said I hadn't done any war gaming related things I was exaggerating slightly.

Since August, I was doing stuff, but I would sit down, do a little bit and lose interest after a few minutes.

Recently I finished off a bunch of things that had been sitting around.
