All,

Greetings, and welcome to my collection of Soviet heavy metal!  I painted absolutely zero on this force, it's all bought from other folks.  Everything but the three trucks comes from my buddy Dustin; the trucks were off a guy on Ebay.  Soviet stuff is generally pretty easy, right, just throw some green on them, but they did a great job with decals and weathering.  I noticed that some early war stuff was done in more of a forest green, while some others and the later war stuff was done in more of an olive green.  I think everything but the trucks and Su-76s (which are 3D printed) are from Warlord/Italeri.


The whole mess: two IS-2s, an Su-85, an Su-122, a KV-1 (with separate turret to make it a KV-2), two T-26s, two BT-7s, a 1940 model T-34, two 1942 model T-34s, two Su-76s, a Ba-64, a Ba-10, and three Studebaker trucks.


A Ba-10 armored car.


A pair of BT-7s.


And the two IS-2s, veritable monsters.

I think they look nice, and overall I think they'll see me through pretty much any scenario.  I'm a wargaming megalomaniac, so well enough is never enough; I've got a pair of T-60s on the way, and I'd like to have some T-34/85s, probably some Lend-Lease stuff too, at least a Valentine or two, maybe a 'Coffin for Seven Brothers.'   Oh, and I have an M3 scout car that I've primed but haven't painted; not too worried about jeeps, motorcycles, or halftracks for the Soviets, though I do have some cavalry waiting to be painted.  Not vehicles, but I'd also like to get my hands on some paratroopers, partisans, and naval infantry.  Ugh, it never ends...

I know there must be some serious 'Jack fatigue' out there, so I am pleased to inform you THIS IS THE LAST OF THE WWII FORCES!!!  I have some 'Ultramodern' stuff to post tomorrow night, and then I'm caught up with all the forces I've finished (quite a bit more waiting on paintjobs).

V/R,
Jack

It's hard keeping up with all of your wonderful output Jack! Certainly plenty of toys there for a wide variety of actions and scenarios .

Very nice batch Jack

Thanks fellas!

Yeah, I was just trying to get to a point where if I wanted to play something WWII I wouldn't have to go buy and paint more stuff.  Mission accomplished . That is to say, I don't have every single nationality, weapon, or vehicle, but I've at least got something I could proxy in to play immediately.

V/R,
Jack
