Very tempted to get them a nice BMP-2.

Holy crap they are good!
-
:-* Perfect PJ
-
Great stuff! Good painting!
-
Wow, they look great. Amazing paintjob but also really nice miniatures. The white mask makes them look very spooky.
-
top-notch painting
-
How... how do you paint like that?!?!?
-
Wonderful!

They just come out like that.
Thanks for the comments all. :)

Awesome work! I love the highlighting. :-*
-
They look fantastic!
-
Superb! :-*
I've been watching them, but couldn't really decide whether they were good sculpts or not. Apparently, they are :)

Yeah they're quite nice sculpts. Clean sculpting, pretty sharp and they're quite simple models as well so not too taxing to paint. Only thing that I would criticise on them is the fragility of the gun barrels, with the the PK machine gun barrels being the most delicate.. They're very thin which looks to scale but they're easily bent out of shape.
-
Thanks for the feedback!
I'll put them on my Metro 2033 project list :)
(Which is due somewhere around 2056)

Excellent work. It makes me a little sad though, my efforts with same figures fall a long way short. :(

Wow that´s some nice painting.
-
I'm a big fan of the Eureka ranges, nice to see them stunningly painted.
-
So smooth. They're great!
-
Very nicely done. I have tried to paint the same minis, but mine did not come out nearly as nice as yours. But we did both paint white gas masks, I think we must have used the same reference image/s.

I completely 100% agree. I have actually snapped two AK-47 gun barrels, and becaues of that, it has put me off purchasing any more of these really nice minis.

I was lucky with mine. Whilst some were horrendously bent out of shape I did manage to carefully bend them all back into position. Things got a little tense with one of the PK barrels though. Trouble is if they snap you've got not way of pinning them back on because they're so thin.

Exactly correct. I was thinking of using the pin as a barrel, and maybe a small blob of Green Stuff for the front sight. But I fear that I may just ruin the rest of the gun, by drilling into it. I might bring up the weak barrel problem, next time I visit the guys at Eureka (their shop is only a 5 min drive from my house).

Like the alternate colour scheme, and good use of an AT-43 walker. :)
