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.
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
These look rather good and I love the wall you have got them up against too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael! I figured a bit of "socialism" would fit them nicely :P
DeleteGood work, hope you can find the video
ReplyDeleteThanks Moody! Also, went to the Youtube history and found it (after searching for an hour with countless search phrases I came up with!).
DeleteSweet! Great video. Did you see that Underfire miniatures are now also doing west Germans?
DeleteYup, saw it. It's great to see some G3/SLR/FAL armed miniatures out there for a change!
DeleteNice work mate I think they turned out marvelously. Interesting video as well bet they was knackered after that!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brummie!
DeleteHaha, 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!
Great to see you blogging; these have turned out really well and are great additions to your forces.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, it's good to hear you like them!
DeleteThe unusual helmets and camouflage make these very memorable, I think.
ReplyDeleteThey 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!
DeleteSuperb mate- they look the business.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete! I just need that one last pack done and should be ready for another game.
DeleteGreat job Mathyoo! Nice to have you back blogging dude!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
