[Westfalia Chris]

Excellent as always, Comrade Major! Plan targets met! Is that a "non-metallic metal effect" on the banner pole?

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

very nice!

Those are great. Beautiful paint jobs. I have struggled to find a use for mine so they sit unpainted. I invisioned them as my field troops for my space opera game for my neo-soviet fleet if we want to go from ship battles to dirtside battles.

Coolski, but not sure about the standard bearer.

He looks a bit of a Games Workshop capitalist running dog to me comrade. 

[supervike]

Great paint!  That standard bearer needs a flag!

[uti long smile]

Lovely

[Doomsdave]

Brilliant.  Especially the medal on the uniform!

That standard bearer needs a flag!

and a thinner flagpole....

excellent paintjobs and colour choice, thx for sharing

[Gluteus Maximus]

I still find the figures themselves uninspiring, but they are beautifully painted. I love that grey shade used for the greatcoats!

and a thinner flagpole....

  It does look like a 70's Minifigs flag-telegraph pole.

[former user]

I mean, there are thin steel rods or spears and thin drills available....
I've done this in the 90ies...

spoils the quality of the paintjob IMHO

[majorsmith]

With regards to the flagpole, it's cast onto the figure and looked a real bugger to remove without wrecking the figure! I would of replaced it, I don't know why copplestone cast it to the figure to be honest, thanks for the comments guys, does anyone know where to get soviet flags? And aircraft decals too please!

[Steve F]

The supposed flagpole is, in fact, a long cardboard tube, with the flag rolled up inside it for safekeeping.

Same with me, love them, but I wish they were a bit more Neo and a touch less emphasis on the Soviet. Thats why I have a set unpainted, but eventually I'll paint up as Zaporskiye Brigade no doubt.

I apologize if I sounded patronizing, I did not want to.

just let me know if I can help in removing flagpoles

btw, pygmywars has a lot of bolshevik flags, maybe You could use some
