All,
Greetings, and welcome to my collection of Soviet heavy metal! I painted absolutely zero on this force, it's all bought from other folks. Everything but the three trucks comes from my buddy Dustin; the trucks were off a guy on Ebay. Soviet stuff is generally pretty easy, right, just throw some green on them, but they did a great job with decals and weathering. I noticed that some early war stuff was done in more of a forest green, while some others and the later war stuff was done in more of an olive green. I think everything but the trucks and Su-76s (which are 3D printed) are from Warlord/Italeri.
First up, the two Su-76s. My only complaint is that there are no crew figures inside, may have to remedy that.
And the two IS-2s, veritable monsters.
I think they look nice, and overall I think they'll see me through pretty much any scenario. I'm a wargaming megalomaniac, so well enough is never enough; I've got a pair of T-60s on the way, and I'd like to have some T-34/85s, probably some Lend-Lease stuff too, at least a Valentine or two, maybe a 'Coffin for Seven Brothers.' ;) Oh, and I have an M3 scout car that I've primed but haven't painted; not too worried about jeeps, motorcycles, or halftracks for the Soviets, though I do have some cavalry waiting to be painted. Not vehicles, but I'd also like to get my hands on some paratroopers, partisans, and naval infantry. Ugh, it never ends...

A beautiful force, if my mate didn’t have a large Russian force I would definitely collect one myself
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt! I hear you can never have enough ;)

A great collection of vehicles there. I do love the variety that comes with fielding Russian tanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shaun. A necessary evil ;)
