Title: M4A3E8's Cold War Project [Added GAZ-66]
Post by: M4A3E8 on February 15, 2022, 01:30:26 AM
Hi everyone,
I am working on painting up forces for 28mm Cold war. I am certainly not a superstar painter but I thought I would share.
I have been inspired over the years by what everyone else is doing that it is my turn to post and hopefully inspire others.

To start I have painted up some Underfire Miniatures Soviet Infantry. These figures are well sculpted and perfect for 1980s Soviet Infantry.
The lack of a camo uniform makes the really quick to paint! Compared to the British infantry I painted they were done in half the time.

So far I have finished 12 of these but my plan is for a whole platoon with BMP-1s. I am participating in the Analog Painting Challenge and using that to motivate myself to get these done.
I will post more as I finish them up.

Next up are BMP-1s for the infantry. These are resin printed bobmack3d models. Great detail and paint up real nice. I have two of these painted up for now but will be adding many more.
I also have several different BMP-1 variants I will be adding to my Soviet Forces.

Nicely done both troops and tracks. I think the 1/56 BMP is a good choice overall. People often underestimate just how small they are (for a tracked IFV?APC).

Got a GAZ-66 done. This is the first of many, you can't have too many trucks. I plan on doing several with loads in the back and at least one command version.
It was a lot of fun to paint up but I think it needs some mud on it! This was also printed from the bobmack3d.com Soviet Kickstarter.
