Title: 15mm Soviets by PSC

New blog post and some pictures of some 15mm Soviets I finished a couple of weeks ago.

The PSC Soviets are great value but that grenade throwing pose always makes me cringe - the sculptor should have been made to correct it!
Nice terrain BTW

Thanks. I think that grenade chucking pose is based on a classic Airfix figure, but I don't like it either. And it appears in most of the PSC plastic sets.

I am sure it is not designed to be used as a figure, it is a casualty marker in disguise!

Yup try doing that pose yourself and unless you are double jointed you will end up as a casualty!  lol

I picked up a box of them recently and have put them back up for sale.  While a serious bargain, the PSC soviets in 15mm are quite poor compared to the FoW minis I have on hand.  That being said, I'm quite impressed with the later PSC germans and brits.  Apparently the Americans and Soviets were some of the first designs and were scaled down 20mm figures (digitally shrunk).  They have some useful stuff in the box though (medics, and unarmed figures, etc.) so it's a bit tempting to keep the box just for that.

Their 15mm PSC gun crew are similarly...poor, but usable.

You've done a nice job with them, considering!
