So as you have probably read it is the road to the Secrets of the Third Reich UK Grand Tournament, I have built a 55RP Soviet force and have painted it in a record of 2 weeks……there are a few other bits to be painted as I may tweak my list for the tournament. I have gone with a Winter theme, heavy snow on the ground of the ruins of Kursk. Having lost the original battle of Kursk the Germans have decided to restore faith in the troops that a decisive win was in order and so they marched once again upon Kursk to crush the Soviets, these are the survivors of that battle! In the Weird War of Secrets of the Third Reich the battle is still raging in 1949!

Platoon Command Squad with the Special Characters: Hammer & Sickle

This was built using models from the SoTR range from West Wind Productions and models from the Bolt Action Range from Warlord Games. The models had all of their tabs removed and were based on these home made bases. The bases were made using Poly Filler and 28mm bricks which were then sanded and the models glued on, once painted snow was applied by mixing snow scatter and clear water and was applied to the bases with a cocktail stick, once dry blood splatter, mud, grass clumps and barbed wire were applied to the bases.
