Anyhow, I recently finished up a big commission of Soviet infantry. The first half was done over the summer and consisted of two infantry platoons, a 75mm gun battery, a six tube 160mm mortar battery, a 4 tube 120mm mortar battery, three command teams with a red banner stand, and a 5 stand spetznaz platoon. The customer wanted the spetznaz guys in German disguises so I used the plastic germans, swapped out a couple of heads for Soviet ones, and painted their uniforms up to represent a mix of soviet and stolen German uniforms.
The second portion just shipped off to the customer and was mostly support for the core components I had already done up. This batch was made up of another 75mm gun battery, a 45mm gun platoon, four flamethrower teams, a few extra infantry stands, a pioneer section with a couple of faust teams, a couple more 120mm mortars, two HMGs, and three more command stands.
I also finished up some space marines I've had laying around for a while. Not sure what I'm gonna do with them but it was nice to paint something a bit different.
I have some 15mm Chain of Command Germans and Americans on the painting table right now so those should be up here soon. After that, I'm getting in an order of 28mm Bolt action DAK vehicles to paint. I'm looking forward to this job because it will be nice to paint something different for a change. After the armor the customer is sending a bunch of 28mm North Africa infantry my way.
As far as non-commission painting goes, I'm chugging away on my 3mm napoleonics project. I have the French almost done with just a few more infantry stands to go. I got the Austrian contingent as a Christmas gift so they're ready to go once the French are done. I'll get some pictures of my progress with the French up here soon.
Hey you still exist!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's been pretty busy lately so I haven't been able to make it to Huzzah but hopefully I'll have some time once I graduate in May.
