Spurred by the imminent arrival of their Chechens, here are more of Eureka's modern Russian Federals, painted as an internal security unit. (Check out my earlier modern Russians
here.)
There's no historical support for these paint-schemes and they're not based on any particular unit or time, but they look 'kewl'. The helmet is the Maska-1Sch. I gave the weapons wooden stocks so they would stand out a little more.

Here's a photo-dump of pics I used as inspiration and reference (Google Images is my friend):
Who knows what battle-hardened visages are hidden under that fearsome armour plating?
Edit: Here's a pic of the boys in action:
Great camo scheme... these are really well done, some of the best camo schemes I've seen in 15mm.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr H, it's very nice of you to say so.
DeleteVery nice. I didn't realize they where 15mm until the end bloody well done on these dude! Hot chick in uniform sweet.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you buddy have a good one.
Same to you, Brummie.
DeleteLove the way you've done the camo and the colours too! Looks even better in the last pic though, can't think why?????
ReplyDeleteI've been a naughty Ivan.
DeleteDefinitely the cammo pattern is the big eye-catcher here. Great job, Sir!
ReplyDeleteWow, top effort Barks! I love the camo, and they are a true representation of the photos. Fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, it's fun to paint some colours that makes figures stand out on the tabletop, yet remains quasi-historical!
ReplyDeleteThose look great.
ReplyDeleteWhich colours did you use?
Thanks, Jinx- good question. I think it was Derivan MiNiS RAF Blue, White, then French Blue.
DeleteThanks! That pointed me in the right direction. :-)
