Don's sloppy White Russians
« on: January 15, 2010, 02:06:58 PM »
I ve been reading in this forum for a long time, so after all, here are a few off my White Russians... :)
The "force" is made for Triumph & Tragedy. 1 or 2 more 10-men squads are still to paint...





My Rolls armoured car. The Copplestone-one was too small for me,so I convertted a bigger one. The red one is the original toy.





Tank-toy from the Disney-movie Atlantis...





And here the pulpy thing: the armoured amphibious Landing-Submarine of the Innersibirian Navy...
Toy from the same Disneyfilm, no conversions, just a lousy paintjob... ;)

Brilliant conversions! That Rolls armoured car is my favourite, the conversion works very well. What from is the original toy car?
The amphibian landing craft is another top model - I could bite myself in my a ... to not have bought me some more Atlantis toys when they were available.
Let's see more of your troops when you've finished them.

Well done with the RR.
Good it fits snuggly in that pulpy thing.

The car is a cheap "made in China"-toy, the manufacturer is Tai Cheong Toys, HK.
I got it from a toy-shop: I always carry a 28mm miniature with me for comparison... :D

Its a terrible pity the Atlantis-toys are no longer available. I can't even find them on ebay...

Brilliant, and kind of sad all at the same time.  :D ;)

Whats this "sloppy" malarky? It all looks great.

I think I may have a go at scratching something similar to that landing craft.

These are great! I really love the vehicles!!
I tried getting hold of some of the Disney Atlantis stuff but I can't find it anywhere, such a shame as there's so much potential for it!

This is just beautiful stuff, Don, really. Cracking!

And I could kick myself for not thinking to build one of those landing craft when I had that particular atlantis toy set. At the time I was more interested in the other parts, and not thinking long term. Of course, now they're near impossible to find.

The topic is a bit old (or so I'm being told by the bot) but I feel compelled to compliment your work on the Rolls Royce... outstanding. I wonder have you completed any other models?
