"28mm Russian Sailors... The beginning." Topic

Ever since the last Tactica and because of the wonderful RCW table by Lt.Hazel and his friends (You haven't seen it? Go and check it out… NOW!), my mates are RCW crazy. Usually I am fielding my WWI/Balkan Wars Greeks by Tiger miniatures when we play RCW and no one minds. Last Friday though we set up a beautiful table with about 80 RCW/BOB relevant miniatures and I finally felt jealous. :) Therefore I decided to paint up a ten man team of Russian sailors, their Maxim and the command (Copplestone order pending :D ). One of my mates even gave me one of his sailors, so I can try the painting scheme. The great Lead Adventure forum helped with that quite a bit and so did the painted miniatures by Steve Dean. Needless to say… I had a blast. I reckon that a small force of these will look quite nice on a table. Click on the link to have a better view.

Excuse the photograph. Natural light wasn't helping and neither is the white pair of trousers.

Very cool!

Yes, very cool!
And the picture is good :)

Thanks guys! :) I was trying to add the ships name on the cap today but somehow I don't dare! :)

Very nice- but white pants?

Yeah, most of the rest will be dressed properly, but I thought that one or two would make the unit look a bit more interesting. This guy is just using the pants from his white work uniform. I know the colour is too white for that, but I guess you could call that artistic freedom. :)

Nicely done. I wonder how long those white pants would be clean into combat? Maybe weather them a bit.

We can certainly help expand your possibilities with RCW minis and vehicles -
