28mm Soviet Maxim MMG

Some much needed support for my 'wintery' Soviet Army in the form of a Warlord Games Soviet Maxim MMG.  Not much in the way of component parts, but an additional three crew members needed painting to match their comrades.  Rather than use the metal heads provided, I snipped off a couple of the plastic ones from the winter infantry frame, for no other reason than to help tie in to the rest of the unit.

Once painted the base was given a light sprinkling of snow, but otherwise kept very simple.  Another useful addition done, but feel that the hard pressed infantry are going to need something with a bit more punch. 

A quick shot of the team in action...

    1. Thank you so much Simon, that's very kind. For the snow I have been using AK snow acrylic and then sprinkling on the AK snow microballons. Really like the finish it gives.

  3. Excellent heavy weapons team to bolster your forces Michael, and the scenic base helps tie them in well with the rest of the army, as does the head swaps

    1. Thank you Dave, they are quite forgiving miniatures to paint as not a lot of detail so that has helped.
