Don's RCW
« on: November 02, 2018, 06:06:11 PM »
I want to host a big game in two weeks...set in the RCW.
6 Players on a decent table....:)

So far I have enough minis for a white russians party and a friend has more then enough for two bolshies.
So I have to build 3 more parties.
Each party will consitst of 1 leader, three 8-9 men troops (variing quality), a heavy gun (HMG or artillery), a transport and a little pulp troop (like Dr. Shivago and his nurse).

My collection is so far more orientated around the Back of Beyond. Mainly infantry orientated with lots of pulpy stuff....:)

I started today with a scracht build tachanka.

Just got me the wheels from a sprue of ACW artillery from the Perrys and glued some plastic card.




Took me just 2 1/2 hours...:)
Added two horses of Perry heavy napo cav and two WW2 russian infantry from Warlord.






Still a lot of work...espascially on the horses.


In the time the glue was drying I took a box of mongol cav out of the plastic pile.
And converted a few cossacks. Inspired by father primus....;)



And Added lots of equipment.






Stay tuned and Cheers,
Don....;)

Excellent WIP - very inspirational! Seeing the tschanka has made me realise I can convert on from an Old West buggy.

And here I thought it'd be a simple gallery of painted figures.

You are very talented! Great job!

Pretty cool stuff, Don.
Not only the tchanka build is excellent, but also the driver gives a nice touch to it  :-*

Thank you very much gentlemen....;)

Here is the first batch of painted minis.
One of the fractions will be a pro zarist company in worn out WWI uniforms.
Perhaps a little of the track, but I wanted to haul this project only with stuff from the Lead Mountain....:)

I bought the miniatures from Mad Doc Morris a few years back. They were already based mainly on coins...
I will keep them that way although my other minis are based on 25mm bases.





They are a bit small compared to the chunky Copplestone beauties, but full of detail and character. Like them...:)

Okay...this time only 9 minis....;)

But being a little handicaped by toothache I couldn`t find much sleep last night....so I started a new squad.
This time some turn coats and a bolshevik HMG.
I really like the Osprey books on the RCW. Very informative....and there I found this little gem of whole units switiching sides. Some multiple times. Ideal for one of my multiplayers...:)

So I ll use them for what ever side needs some reenforcements in my games... o_o lol
