Title: Soviet Test Miniature
Post by: Bowiefan on 01 August 2009, 11:25:49 PM

Intended as the start of a SoTR Soviet force, and apologies to those who have seen it elsewhere.  In full, rubbish camera phone/bad lighting glory, I give you my Soviet Survivor test miniature:

Do you have a squad of them?

Like this one, BF. Is it something you converted, or is that one of the SOR survivor heads? I like the gasmask style.

Looks good - nice basing too. What's your basing material of choice? A mixture of your own devising, or something store bought? (that makes me sound about ninety years old, but you know what I mean!)

As a fellow Russian SOTR player, it looks really good. I hope to have some of my stuff posted soon.

Thanks for the replies folks  :). A few questions to answer:

@ Hauptgefreiter: Hopefully this one will be joined by fellow squad members soon. I have 3 squads and a command squad undercoated and ready to paint.

@ Doc Twilight: It's a West Wind SHS piece. They don't have a picture on the web store, but if anyone wanted to know which ones, then it's these (http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=126_149&products_id=1452). 20 in a pack.

@ Hawkeye: I was thinking the base was quite dull as well (intend to add snow at a later date). However, for basing materials you can't go wrong with a mixture of bird sand and bird grit. Nice and...cheep...from a pet shop.  ;)
