Title: Russian Super Heavy Mecha
Post by: Pappa Midnight on January 24, 2010, 02:41:00 PM

After a really long break from painting I thought it was about time I started on my Russians for WWW2 ( got the Infantry LAST Xmas!!!)
The mech is from AT43 Red Blok box set.
I think the weapons on this Mech are a little OTT ( the mortar's OK but I think the RailGun is a little big!) and it has no close support weapons, but I quite like it.

Bourgeois testicles of Dogspodin Barkski!  :o

That is certainly the best of your Russians so far. I think the guns look okay, one anti-tank cannon on the right shoulder, and a howitzer on the left. Nicely balanced.  lol

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful paintjob.  However, your camoflaging has been too succesful and it needs something to make it "pop" from the base.

Thank you all for the comments!!

Its nice to get back into painting after such a long break. Unfortunately such a long spell away from the hobby means that I've got a HUGE back-log of unpainted minis.........

Tri3: I did a short tutorial ages ago. I hope you find it of some use.

Fantastic! Love the paint job, it really gives it a sense of 'weight' like this thing is there and means to stay. I have to confess to prefering the smaller of the two, but thats just preferance of the model.
