28mm Early War Russians from Bolt Action Miniatures

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

I reckon these are perhaps the best 28mm minis you have ever done. Love the colours - more depth than usual. Shades on the greatcoats look very nice 8)
Top marks that man!

Hi,
thanks. Glad you like them.

The figures were by Richard Ansell. He tends to stick to a more realistic proportions on the figures. Mkaes the hands and face seem a bit smaller than the other figures.

In saying that they were great figures to pain. Could be tempted to give more of them a go. Maybe after the trip to North Africa.
