I can't help but envy your painting speed. Figures are splendid too!  :-*

Okay, today I started to srcatch built a "kind of Putilow armoured car".....;)

Still lot of work to do...but you get the idea.

Started with some plastic card and a few renedra bases...





Then I glued some of the basic stuff together.




Build I turret from a card roll and some more bases.





Tried my hand on a rotaing turret and starting with the rivets...;)
Probably a littel to big...but I like the comic aproach here....:)






Oh dear...so much more of the rivets to glue....:)

Don

Don, your work on the black clad units is fantastic!  I have a unit of Whites to paint as a Kornilov battalion, and have been building up my courage to tackle it as I find getting black uniforms to look right is much harder than it should be. Thanks for the inspirational photo, although there is no way I will be able to match your pace and churn them out in a day  :o

Thanx gents for your kind remarks....;)

@Sir Rodney
Hope to see your Kornilov soon....:)

Couldn't find much sleeplast night and painted more on the cossacks.
A few highlights are missing here and there, but for the gaming table they are some how finished....:)




Cheers,
Don
