Post by: 14th brooklyn on May 02, 2012, 02:32:05 PM

I just added a few shots of my WWII Soviets to my blog today:

Today it is softskins and some guns... ranging from small:

Great stuff... mentioned the Komsomolets tractor over at GWP. Bolt Action you say?

Nice!! I have about that much myself in 1/50th diecast and 1/56th scale resin vehicles for Soviets and Germans.  If you are in the San Francisco Bay area, perhaps we could arrange a mega tank battle some time!!

THX guys!

@Phil: Yes, Bolt Action:

I see they seem to have overhauled it. It now comes without that big block of resin under the hull between the tracks.

@SBMiniaturesGuy: That might prove hard. I thinkmthe sheer volume of these minis would take up all my lugage on a transatlantic flight! :'(

Cheers,

Burkhard

Very good! Just a pity that nonsense is written on the tanks ....

Thanks!

I once asked a Russin person to translate it for me, but I have to admit, I can only remember (at least I think so) that one of the slogans reads "for the motherland". Which reminds me that I always wanted to see what more funny things like "Hitler is wearing pink stockings" or "A beer and some Schnitzel, please" would be spelled... maybe if I ever do more tanks!

Cheers,

Burkhard

 Oh, of course it's not a problem  :)
 I see, you just used pieces of decals 1/35 models?
 Those who know Russian, seem funny some of the inscriptions. Especially pieces of Estonian words ...  ;)

 However - you have quite a decent collection. I really like.
