Back of Beyond - Bolshevik Infantry

 I have completed the stash of Coppoestone Bolsheviks , with various Commisars , Heroines and straight up infantry 

I found a small stash of red stars in the decals box and have applied these . This way madness lies ! Fortunately I have now run out of them .

This gives me a decent start of a force for STEA . I need a couple of MGs and cavalry unit to finish it off .

**Edit ** 

A first battle was fought today and they actually won! Mind almost everything else they fighting was new , so someone had to! 

Back of Beyond - Bolshevik Field Gun and Mounted officers

 First completed items of the new year are more Bolsheviks  for the Back of Beyond collection . First up a Field Gun to deal with those pesky interventionist forces armoured cars . 

76mm M1902 Field Gun . There are rumours there may be some gas shells in the vicinity.

 

Copplestone figures , a real joy to paint 

 

Next are 6 mounted officers . 2 painted with cavalry blue markings and 4 infantry red . They will be raising some nice fresh Red Guards shortly along with some Commisars 

 

That’s it for now 

Back of Beyond.- British Intervention forces armoured car and wrecked WW2 Tiger

 I was gifted a 1st Corp armoured car by Martin for Crimbo . I decided to get this one done quickly . I used the paint scheme I found on the 1st Corp website . It went together nicely , with good resin and metal castings . Pleased to say the eye issue is starting to abate . Nice to get back painting .

 

Next up is a 15mm Tiger . This is one of late friend Scotty’s stash . It was a bit battered so I have completed it as a knocked out version for winter use
