Underfire miniatures: 28mm East Germans team 3

Hi guys,

I barely caught my November post (could you imagine I once had plans to post twice every week?) with another pack of Underfire miniatures East Germans. I had them on my paint table for about a month or so, sitting half done waiting for me to sit down and finish them. The camouflage is really a bugger and I think I am getting sloppier, but even with a bit of a drop in quality, the result is really worth it. I need to go invest in another tiny brush so next pack I do can be even better.


Without further ado, I present you team 3. It includes 3 East-German-AK guys and an RPG gunner, which I really missed in the earlier packs. For some reason, I really like backpacks on my guys and I plan on revisiting my RPG armed rebels and adding them some rocket packs.


I apologise for crappy photos, but at least they are no worse than usual. You can see they all carry their bags, including the RPG gunner! There are two things I miss with these packs, however. One is the RPG team assistant with extra rockets, the second more RPKs!



Here is a nice video I stumbled upon while searching NVA troops. It is just one part of many and it is about the breach. It shows you just how little things have changed from WW1 as they charge cross open ground, albeit with the tank support.



Thanks for looking,
Math-yoo

    1. Thanks Michael! I figured a bit of "socialism" would fit them nicely :P

    1. Thanks Brummie!

      Haha, I have to say what I was thinking about when watching was just how insanely optimistic they must've been to expect that to work!

  5. The unusual helmets and camouflage make these very memorable, I think.

    1. They are pretty unique, I agree. I didn't like the helmets at first, but they aren't too bad. My first association is Star wars for some reason!

    1. Thanks Bob! My activity is still very much so-so, but I think I am slowly coming back. Perhaps I need to start yet another project to really get me going!
