[COMMERCIAL] Empress Miniatures Cold War Range. T64 RELEASED.

[Dr Bogo]

A plus if you *do* model them after Geordies is that there's no need for any winter/summer clothing variants - tight t-shirts and jeans for the blokes plus miniskirts for the women all year round, and painting them is a treat, simple two-tone spray-tan orange.

(In all seriousness yes please to civvies).

  True but similar dress codes exist in Essex, give or take the odd puffer jacket.

Remember that these are for the ‘80s, spray tan was yet to be invented unless you were handy with a bottle of furniture polish, so shell suits and ashen grey/pasty white complexions, save for the odd, bright red one that’s just got back from Marbella.

Hmm now there’s scenario waiting to be played out. Soviet paratroopers land at Southend Pier and attempt to take the Kursaal. You could call it ‘Down by the Jetty’. 

My only worry is that we’ll get German civilians indulging their passion for getting their kit off and lolling around on the sand.

Being a local boy I can confirm with ease that the Soviet Paras would not have stood a chance in Southend in the 80's. Especially in the Kursaal and pirate ship.

Empress 28mm BDRM2.

[FreakyFenton]

Looks great. And I do like the weathering on it!

[commissarmoody]

Very Well done! 

[carlos marighela]

Cute!

[Golgotha]

Very useful given that it has seen service in the most recent conflicts and has been exported extensively and is in use in at least 38 countries...

[Kourtchatovium104]

Great! And it reminds me that I have one to finish...

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Cheers chaps.

TBH it was a colour test for a load of BDM's I need to do for the 1980 VDV.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Very nice.

Great! And it reminds me that I have one to finish...

I still have one in a box...

[AKULA]

Useful model for so many different games - really like the weathered finish as well

 

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Cheers chaps.

Nice paint job on that BRDM.  But it ain't lying on its side, burned up, with "Wolverines" spray-painted on it...
