[WWII] Soviet Tank Desant

[barbarian]

Need to paint these :

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Yes you do! I'm sure they will be excellent.

Great sculpts. With a bit of conversion or clever basing they would be perfect for Stalingrad, fighting amongst the rubble. Hmmm .

[barbarian]

I've made the conversion from classic infantry to Tank Desant for Pendraken : they came in two different couples of miniatures.

On this photo I added an soviet officer (base cut, arm redirected to the front, legs slightly bend) on one tank and one rifleman (base cut, one leg cut and glue back) on the other. I'd like to add more, but I want to keep the turret free, to change it with the T-34/76 turret.

They look very effective, B. Looking forward to seeing them painted.

Fast paint job. The ink is still fresh.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those are really lovely, nicel composed and beautifully painted. Nice one.

Facebook kills the photo. I'll try to find another host.


Leon can you edit my former post with this link ?

Hi Barbarian,
very nice effect. In the pack SV63 I received, there is not an officer with cap. How have you make it ?

[barbarian]

I used some officer from the officer pack, some riflemen and some sniper scouts.
I use strong scissors to cut the base. (bit after bit, not in one go !)
Then, I just bend gently with a blade, or pliers.
For the seated ones, I cut one leg and glue the foot and resculpt the missing parts.

Excellent B !!

Thanks Barbarian, I'll try, but Leon could make an effort to propose more different poses ...!!!!   

[barbarian]

The problem isn't Leon. I imagine I could do more or these.

nice paintjob!

[Hertsblue]

Nice "hang on for dear life" effect. Gives the models a lot of life.

Incidentally, you might try Photobucket as a host. I find it quite acceptable.

[barbarian]

I'm doing the markings.
If someone can redirect me on a link which explain the tactical markings...
Mainly how does the numbers work.

I used Google+ on the second attempt, I think it's linked with Picasa.

The answer is a QI ? - it varies between units, and is not an army standard. It may not even be logical across a brigade.

Love the look - by far the most realistic I have seen
