Back of Beyond - Railway Militia and Cheka

 The latest top up for my Bolos are more of the Eureka factory militia to use for my Railway guys , and some various SMG armed Partisans  to use for my Cheka.

 

That takes me up to 20 Factory militia with the last lot . 

 

Good swift service from Eureka once more . The Ppsh armed guys are a little late for the period but they will do for now . 

I continue to be on top of this project which is nice . Everything I have sourced for the Brits and Bolos  is painted. . I have ordered some guys to use for Trotskys train guards in the glorious red uniforms . I have more Afghans in the pile , I would also  like some suitable Japs in due course .

  

I am keeping a look out for a few more Copplestone cavalry , and my own plane .

In the meantime the Caspian Seawitch has reached dry dock for fitting out .

Back of Beyond - Buildings , workers and commander

I have completed a couple of Russian farm type buildings that I got from Battle Honours 3d .

I plan to add a few scratch built types and also some fencing areas etc in due course . 

They were very clean FDM  prints overall . Took a few minutes to clean up and then a dark grey rattle can basecoat. I then used a Tamiya desert yellow overspray . The rest is basically dry brushing with various fresh timber type shades . The doors and frames etc are a bluylight blue grey mix and highlight . 

I haven’t painted the inside yet , but that will come . 

 This weeks focus has been the last of the current stock for this period .

I have picked up a few Eureka pieces . Top marks for swift service as they are arrived a couple of days after ordering . 

First up a new mounted commander . It’s ages since I painted a white horse so felt a little rusty doing it . But happy with it . As it was rearing up I have added a thin piano wire support to it .

Next are the workers militia . Clad in boiler suits and flats caps but some with the classic Bundenovka

Very nice clean castings with a good range of poses . I could due with a few more in due course .

I had picked up a 3d print from Battle Honours 3d of a couple of Russian style farm buildings .
