The Russians are coming!

 Albeit rather more slowly than I'd like! They are for the Cold War Gone Hot project and are from the Plastic Soldier Company's small 15mm range, the box being rather blandly titled 'Cold War Soviet Infantry'.

I purchase these, I think, at Hammerhead 2018 so they have lain in the Pimple for over four years to reach the painting desk. {As an aside I recently ordered a box of the same company's T55 Soviet tanks to supplement the force, but they are some way off getting any attention yet!} The box contains, it says, 141 figures. I've not counted them myself! I've finished another four bases worth since I took the picture, so 40 figures are done. 

After cutting them from the sprue and filing off any small pieces of remnants I sprayed them white. They were fixed in 4s to my Warbases 60mm hexagonal bases with white tack and then washed with GW's Agrax Earth wash. For those interested in such things this helps me first to hold figures relatively pain free and second to see what I'm trying to paint! The uniform colour I chose at Partizan from Great Escape Games is AK11370, from the afv series,  Russian Sand. It is a light brown with a hint of green and is close enough for me in 15mm! I hope to finish the remaining figures now they are all prepped by the end of the month, but presently I'm distracted by the Empress Miniatures' mounted Lakshmi Bai figures! More on both as and when ...
