Title: Russian WW1 infantry
Post by: monk2002uk on July 25, 2021, 11:48:18 AM

A new range of Russian WW1 infantry has been released on Wargaming3D (see here (https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/ww1-russian-squad01/)). Well, the STL files needed to print the infantry to be more exact. These photos show the Russian officer from different angles. The figure is 28mm, printed on a resin printer with 25 micron layers. There are no discernible steps or layers:

The painting is superb. Question I have about the uniform of the Russian infantry. The turn-down collar is new to me. Rather typical were the Russian blouses (Gymnastjorka).

Thank you, waterproof. I can't comment on the collar though; just painted what printed  :(  :)

Here is the Russian soldier wearing an Adrian helmet. France sent a limited number of these helmets to Russia, plus the Russian expeditionary unit sent to France was issued with them as well. The bayonet is warped because I removed the supports before curing.

This is not a Gymnastjorka, this is a British style jacket. Such tunics became fashionable among officers of the Russian army around 1915. They were not officially regulated, but, nevertheless, they were very widely worn.
But the Mauser pistol was usually not attached to the belt - it was too heavy for that.
