imgur.com/a/b6kLH I've posted a link to some pictures of my US Cold War microarmor. I have some more Germans and a larger Soviet force that I'm going to take photos of and post over the weekend. The figures are all Scotia. |

Thanks for sharing your pics. Good inspiration. I've been wanting to get back into doing some good Cold War battles, like when I first got into miniature gaming. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some other club members interested in it as well. |

Straighten those gun barrels. Why would you paint them while they were still bent? |

They don't stay straight for long. Relax! |

Chuck's got it right, I'm afraid. They were painted several years ago. No way to keep those barrels perfectly straight unless I put them on bases, which I don't like the aesthetic of. Rather have bendy barrels than a clunky base that doesn't match the terrain. |

I found the bendy barrels were due to poor storage rather than handling on the tabletop. By using small pieces of cork tiles I could stop them rolling around in the box and bending. Thin barrels are more easily bent but with careful handling it was not a serious issue. All my old Cold war era units are languishing in video boxes thousands of miles away. |
