Final rifle section done!


As the new academic year lurches into sight, there is a palpable sense of urgency here at 'Awdry Towers'.  Early morning alarms are being set to steal an hour or so of precious painting time before the day begins proper, but I am pleased to report that progress has been made. 



More of the same, I'm afraid, but there are one or two slight variations on the theme.  That said producing a core force of over fifty miniatures that actually hangs together, stylistically, is a bit of a first for me.  This then, the second of my wintery Soviet Army rifle sections with Light Machine Gun support.  The young lady about to launch the Molotov cocktail has already been counted in the tally, having been showcased recently, but this is where she will be based for any games.


Time to move on to the command section and the sniper team, but waiting in the wings are no end of extras including anti-tank dog units, artillery support and other vehicles; starting to think that I need another holiday!

  1. A mere five days for you to produce another squad - incredible (n many ways).

    1. In the spirit of full disclosure, I had already prepped the faces and bases. That said, it has been a revelation having all the miniatures required in front of me and the requisite paints all ready to go. It has really sped things up.

    1. Thank you Terry and I hope so, the last are more individuals or require a bit more thought so will slow me down a little. That and the list of 'things to do' which I have neglected needs addressing soon.

  10. Lovely looking Soviets, you've rattled through this force in no time, here's hoping there is little additional covid work this term and you get a bit of time to paint!
