Siberia My Siberia

[marianas_gamer]

I have been becoming more serious about moving some of my focus north from China and Manchuria to Siberia. Some of Mark Post's and Cuprum's posts have really resonanted with me as of late. I have always been interested in Kolchack and Semyonov but the more I read the less sympathy, of any kind, do I have for these leaders. The Siberian peasentry themselves and their struggles definitly resonate. The US expeditionary force, particularly the 31st Infantry Regiment, out of Manila, is going to be my concentration. Here are the first two Russian buildings, both First Corps models that I got off eBay that I have painted up.



and another view.

Those look GREAT Lon! 

I love the 1st Corp Russian stuff. Especially their church.

[marianas_gamer]

Thanks fellas. Tom the tree is a 3D printed one that I got off eBay. It was a bit pricey but I do like it and will probably get a couple more if my wallet stops screaming. Todd I haven't decided on a church yet.

Lon,
Take a look at Warbases mdf buildings there's a couple of useful alternatives in their Eastern Front range.( I'm going to pick up the school building at Hammerhead next month. As It's one I've been musing over ever since I made the Shay engine and carriage. )
 I did have a little hand in the Russian building range. Nothing glamorous Simon and Mick asked me to tweak the building sculpts Mainly subtle things like adding an edging lip to allow for easier mould pulls.which also had to allow for modular components to be butted up against the buildings whilst trying not to look like something was missing if you chose not to. Then things like the hay ,wood piles  benches,etc. Furniture sets for the interior, water pump and trough chickens etc. Plus the hay stacks and dung heap.(which are technically Follies sculpts not Eastern Front pieces. )

Do the roofs lift off?  I am looking for an Onion Domed 28mm Church

I thought maybe I recognized your handiwork on those.

Good to know!

Nice stuff. Loves the cobbled together roof look. Living in areas with little income and harsh weather conditions lends itself to a cobbled look.

Thanks to Mark for the tip and to all the rest for the nice sentiments. Leapsnbounds, yes, the roofs lift off and the interiors have details.

Splendid. I’m sure the twisted evil of the half Buryat, half Cossack Semenov will grow on you, as well as that fella named Von Ungern whatshisname?   

For me the attraction is a sort of Far East ‘Heart of Darkness’

After months of recovery from surgery and a bout of covid I have finally managed to get some painting mojo back. I finished painting another of the Siberian buildings. This one is from Grand Manner, one of my favorite resin terrain makers. I also managed to actually finish painting a mini as well. Agento Kyu, one of the Kempeitai's main men in Siberie (and soon to be Guam)

Looks great!

They look great. I can feel the giant mosquitoes of the northern steppe as we speak.
