Great work on those Russian vehicles, Cav Dog!
Excellent work on those Modern Russians, Hoth! I love the way you did the camo on those.

Re: Let's See Russian Armor
I don't mind looking at your tanks again Hoth! They look great!
Beautiful work by everyone! I tend to focus on specific US units, so my meager Russian force is neglected. This might be the motivation I need to start another project!

Re: Let's See Russian Armor
There's some good modern kit here so as a bit of a balance here's a bit more WWII (and later) stuff.
I've had this collection of Soviet armour sitting out in the open whilst waiting for a refurb and new storage boxes. As should be apparent from the photos, the vehicles have collected quite a bit of dust.
Overview
IS-II Regiment
IS-III Regiment
SU-100 Regiment
A 'company' of these need their gun barrels re-attached/replaced.
SU-85 Regiment (& spare IS-II)
Spares - ISU-122s & SU-100s
Another SU-100 here needs a new gun barrel.
Spares - ISU-152s, SU-85s, IS-II ARVs, & IS-IIIs
I'd converted the ARVs by simply drilling out the turret ring and adding a floor some years back before a model of it was available.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT
Protected from the dust in the boxfile underneath the previous units are:
SU-76, SU-122, & SU-152 Regiments
ISU-122 & ISU-152 Regiments
The white stripes came from the decal sheet(s) of some old plastic models.
The white discs were produced with a hole punch and some large patches of white from similar decal sheets.

Re: Let's See Russian Armor
That's a lot of Russians you guys! Lookin good!
You have inspired me to dig some of my Russians out and give them some love. I have a pack of T-34-85s that have been base coated, but they need some touch-ups and a wash. I got these for my Korean War project (which is more of a distraction than a real project).
I also got out ten BMP-1s that were sitting in my rando box so I can get them painted up.

Redleg,
Nice, clean T-34, looks perfect.
Those BMP-1, just an idea paint the before you go into combat.
The DANA 152mm

Redleg,
Great minds think alike. I have 24 T34/85s that I painted up for generic use in Korea or bush wars...

Re: Let's See Russian Armor
It is great to see all of your various Russian armor - Chris, Gazza, Olfarty, Redleg, Cav Dog, and others.
Here is some of mine. By the way, I love Russian armor and for WWII specially there is definitely a lot of different tank types to choose from.
Here is one of my T-34 companies. This is the T-34/43 model by GHQ. I modeled this one from around the time of Kursk and after. Some of them have cupolas while most do not. I did a little mixing and matching to add even more variety.
Below are some of my T-34s in some game action.
