Red Storm - first skirmish!

[Digits]

I already have a male sniper team….but a female one as alternative could be on the cards…

Just wanted to show off Jamie’s painting on mt afv collection thus far.

In the winter camo….the KV-1 and a pair of T34-76’s.  I’m tempted to add a third T-34 and perhaps a pair of T70 light tanks….





The Russians tended to chuck some tanks straight into combat without camo in certain theatres….and I wanted to have a few vehicles for non winter settings / later war etc.

So here we have a BT-7, T34/85 and SU76.

Very inspiring. I’m thinking of working up my Black Tree Russians for BA third edition. My terrain involves only an MDF church and a lot of forest though. Don’t share your admirable commitment to scratch builds and teddy bear fur…

As always Jamie's tank work is fantastic, but I do like your charred & ruined buildings too.

Lovely paint job on those tanks.

Moving swiftly towards the first Eastern Front game, I thought I’d interrupt my figure painting 😇 and finish the build on an another pair of homes.   Next job is to paint the three of them so we have a small hamlet to fight over.

[Digits]

And a quick paint job later….







Going to return to getting some infantry painted now.  However, I think I need to make th3 church after that.  I also want to do a barn or two as well.  Then 8 need some fencing, garden, crop plots etc….  Plus of course, there’s the matter of the rest of the homes….🥴

Nice looking hairy hooses!

I don't believe 'quick paint job' !
I think, 'lovely paint job' is more believable.

[Digits]

Aww shucks! Thanks guys.

Onwards with the infantry…..wash applied…..detailing next….

[Utgaard]

Nice project, especially like the buildings with thatched roofs - very well done!

[Digits]

Thank you sir!

Ordered a few bits to expand on this including an anti tank gun and a box of these militia.  They will form a nucleus for a partisan force.  I intend to add a few Arisan partisans to them, then by mixing them in with a few troops, I can field them as a full sized partisan platoon. 




I wanted to see what these will look like with fencing to.  I have seen pics of lots of fence types in Russia, with barbed wire being ever present.   I also saw some pics with wattle fencing so I have ordered some from Renedra ( because I can’t have ENOUGH fencing),

I think they work just fine.

[infelix]

That’s a really nice looking table you’ve made!

[MaleGriffin]

Lovely terrain!

[snitcythedog]

Absolutely stunning.    I do not know how you produce the amount and quality work that you do.  Again, stunning!!

[Digits]

Thanks fella 😉
