18th Infantry Division, 3rd Army of the West

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!

Here is the latest addition to my Russian Infantry Division, Regiment Dnjepr.
Pictures are a bit blurred for which I apologies.

Close up

As the future is a bit uncertain this Unit may be the last for a while.
Eventually Staff Officers will follow over the next months but that depends on...MONEY! :?

Cheers,
Günter

Dear Friends,

Pushed by the thought that I got that far only to stop here was unbearable for me so I decided that the show must go on if only in smaller steps than so far.

Here are pictures of the recently finished Regiment Kostroma which will find its way to me via Derby as Phil Hart intends to visit us at our Big Waterloo Weekender there.

Image20150915_163302

Image20150915_163310

They will receive their flags when I am back from England.

Cheers,
Günter

They all look fantastic Günter ! And I agree, better to keep on with the project than stop it half way. I have too many half done projects sat in boxes.

Image20151023_145419

Image20151023_145443

The Background is actual a picture on my 27" TFT :D

The next Miniatures to come are a rather large gathering of Russian Officers.

Cheers,

Günter

Dear Friends and Russian-"Makers" :D

Here are the Pictures of the recently finished Russian Army Commands.
There is a Corps Command, Division Commands and Brigade Commands on Foot

Image20160130_143032

Image20160130_142933

Image20160130_142740

Image20160130_143246

Image20160130_143301

Image20160130_143335

Image20160130_143404

Image20160130_143429

Image20160130_143456

The Miniatures are a mixture of different manufactures, painted and based by Phil Hart.

Next on the list will be a detour as Phil has the task to paint Saxon Grenadiers for the FPW :wink: but within the Year the Russians receive the 4 Light Battalions followed by "some" Artillery.


Cheers,

Günter
