28mm 80's Pulp Russian operative greens
« on: February 12, 2017, 12:12:15 PM »
Don't look here if you're a stickler for period accurate uniform and kit details, as these are more inspired by the "pulps" of the '80s than by actual military, but they might still be of interests to some people here.

5 Russian operatives, commissioned for my private collection, though should have some spare castings in a month or so if people want some.



The unit commander, lighting up a smoke before getting into the action:



The muscle for the unit. It's not the impact of his weapon that has quite a punch, his fists will break noses and jaws when required, and pretty much any other bodypart that get's into close contact with them.



The unofficial second in command, a female sniper who could probably shoot that cigarette out of her commander's mouth if she wanted (not that she would though). Lethal from a great distance, she's pretty handy with a knife too when required.



The paratrooper, for when you need some elite reconnaissance:



Finally, your bogstandard basic trooper, to represent the common people:



Hope you like.  :)

Oh, very nice (though if there's a specific pop culture reference here, I'm afraid I don't get it: I spent the 1980s pretending to be too grown up for that sort of thing!).  I'd definitely be interested in a set if you do have some spares.

The Muscle looks like he should be wearing a bowler hat.

Very interesting.

I like the unit commander, he would make an excellent "advisor" for my anti government forces in my Winter of 79 games.

I'd be interested in the commander and a couplecof the bog standard infantry types if you are having spares cast.

Let me guess. Inspired by the Oktober Guard in the original GI Joe comic series? :)

Most excellent! Are you planning any more in this particular direction, or will these five be the sole representatives of the faction?

For now it's just these, though I may do some more grunts to go with them perhaps.

Forgot to mention it, but I now have limited quantities of these available  in metal for £20 + shipping for a set.
