Let's See Russian Armor

Nice work on those SU-76s, rhabstclair! What did you use for the crew on these? I do wish GHQ would make some open topped vehicle crewmen one of these days.

[rhabstclair]

Thanks Pete! Yeah, me too. I just chopped up some Russian artillery crewmen, same as I’ve been doing for the German and U.S. OT AFV’s. As soon as I wrap up the Russian (all done) and American infantry I’m working on its back to AFVs for me… lots of OT German vehicles to customize!

[redleg]

That looks awesome with the crews! I'm impressed with your ability to do that kind of work at that scale!

Damn, you've been busy Chris!

The Russian 3-tone I did probably 12-15 years ago, added to it periodically. Have 75 or more in this scheme. Have probably another 20-30 that I have acquired here and there. So if I pull them together, paint them. It would be about 100.I guess

[chrisswim]

A couple more Russians, just for you.

[BurtWolf]

I like the addition of crews in the su-76s, pretty cool.

Pickup in a box, had to glue some wings back on. Hind A to the right and center by GHQ.
The Hind D’s to the left have a smaller frame. The wings are interesting.

Lurching back to WW2...

T-34 model 1943 carrying infantrymen from the little known Republic of Outer-Scalistan (GHQ R18 & R74)

[chrisswim]

Nice set up with infantry on the T-34.

T-64s that are based. They have been transferred to another operator.

[panzergator]

My eyes aren't what they used to be, but that last picture shows T62s, not T64s.

Great looking Russian gear you guys! And the tank riders are awesome!

[Olfarty]

And the tank riders are awesome!

Having culled most of the biggest figures, these look okay at first glance. However these are just more Z scale figures being marketed as 1/285 scale.

After waiting for about 25 years for a company to produce tank riders to the same scale as the tanks we got these.... Disappointed!
