A little side project this week sees the refurbishment and expansion of a 1980s Soviet Special Air Assault Battalion in 1/300th scale. For a few photos of the miniatures, along with a few thoughts on the project, be sure and visit my blog link

Nice work there!

As one with limited knowledge of the forces you describe, amazing what I missed even as full grown in the period, and no knowledge of the rules, I found it a very enjoyable and illuminating read.

I do hope that is the compliment I consider it to be.

Er, keep it up?

Nice work and it's great to see other gamers focused on Cold War micro-armor.

Very nice work! Very inspiring!

I plan on doing an airport assault in central Europe. Been collecting BMDs and other vehicles. I have been able to print IL-76s and a Mi-26.

Thank you mckrok & Micman for your positive feedback.

I have a few BMDs but need a handful more for the planned expansion. I am not sure I can store a Il-76 even in 1/300th scale.
