Did you use the Brown Violet with some highlights for the M43 uniform. It looks spot on!

@CaptainHaddon

For the M-1943 I mixed Vallejo Green Brown + Russian Uniform roughly 2:1.
I've seen so many different shades of green for this that I decided to just do what I like best..
So I wouldn't say it's particularly accurate  ;)

Very nice!

Curious about the set's construction. I picked up a sprue of their Brits and wasn't very impressed. Indifferent sculpts aside it was all individual arms and separate weapons which are ultra fiddly and a pain to get into decent poses. I also have some of their plastic Japanese, which had weapons connected to both arms and were relatively painless to construct.

No worries, the weapons are attached to at least one arm..
I'd preferred to have a few separate ones tho to be honest but hey, they have listened to the complaints.

I have never seen the Bolt Action plastics looking quite so good. When I saw your fist figure I even wondered if it was a 40mm figures as the detailing- especially the screamin' eagle badge, looks amazing. well done.
Theres more 28mm Superhero Madness at my blog, http://fourcoloursupers.blogspot.com/

Gotta second the other opinions here, these figures are stunning. The style you've done them in works really well.
