I mentioned the PSC 28mm WWII Russian Infantry I picked up cheaply at the tail end of my previous post, tonight just a few more WIP pictures. They should be ready for a full parade very soon!
First two images are some more "before and after" shots of my "enhanced" paint work.

I think they all work quite nicely together and given I have about thirty of the 3d prints, roughly the same number of Wargames Factory figures, plus fifty-eight PSC now, that's probably as many as I need for an early Ostfront (think Barbarossa 1941) force to oppose the Blitzkrieg Germans - now I just need a couple of T26 tanks and maybe an armoured car and a T34......oh dear!
Time for me to flutter off - thanks for dropping by!
Lovely - but don’t forget the air support - you haven’t spent nearly enough yet!
ReplyDeleteLOL - you are a bad man JBM - I don't need any encouragement!
DeleteYour enhancements to the figures look great. The highlighting work really makes them stand out.
ReplyDeleteCheers Lawrence, i really quite enjoyed "adding" to the original paint job!
DeleteNice work on the figures. I agree with JBM ...resistance is futile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment and as to additions, we will see Joe.... we will see!
DeleteNice work Keith and your extra highlights etc really do make a big difference. I remember the early PSC figures that were quite static and lacking detail compared to more recent offerings, but they're still good figures, only needing some TLC on the paint front to make them pop more. Air and Tank support always a must of course for any support;)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. Unfortunately, PSC seem to have decided there is/was too much competition in the 28mm space, and they no longer produce anything much in this scale 😢 So, I will have to look elsewhere fir any additional support (Same seems to be true of the Wargames Factory figures, now part of the Warlord conglomerate of course...)
DeleteNice work on the painting of this batch of figures - very productive Kieth.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev....with half the work already done, these were a breeze to churn out!
DeleteThey certainly look as if they fit together well scale wise and a useful 'go to' to swell the massed ranks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael...yes, they were a lucky find!
DeleteNice looking Soviets, Keith. All the makers match up well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, I thought so, too.
DeleteBeautiful work again sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal.
DeleteSeems to me that low cost and numerous is about right for Early War Soviets...the brushwork certainly is not on the low end, though!
ReplyDelete“Low cost and numerous is just about right for early war Soviets” wins my quote of the day.
DeleteHaha...thanks Ed and Jon...the description does seem appropriate!
DeleteYour enhancement has worked out very well, nice Russkies on show, and all three ranges combine very well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie I think they all work well together
DeleteExcellent work Keith
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty!
DeleteNicely done Keith…simple but effective 👍
ReplyDelete"Simple but effective"....that could be another description of the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War, Matt!
DeleteThe "after' look really effective Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, I am pleased you approve!
DeleteGreat work on the figures Keith.
ReplyDeleteAnd for Soviets - quantity is required - so get the credit card ready 😂
Cheers Ben....depends on what rules you use...this may be enough with our home brew set!!
DeleteGreat looking Soviets, mine are a mix of the PSC and Warlord, work pretty well I think!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain...Warlord are the only hard plastic brand I don't currently have...maybe I should get a box, for completeness sake?!
Deletegood job at increasing the appearance of the miniatures. these all seem to work well together. 😁
ReplyDeleteCheers Stew...we all seem to agree, they are all pretty much on a par in terms of size/scale...which isn't always the case with 28mm metal figures 😉
DeleteGood looking figures. The different manufacturers work well together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard...I am happy with the results!
DeleteGood job ….. though not much can save the PSC grenade thrower 🙂
ReplyDeleteLol...yeah, the set is a bit like the old Airfix ones Norm...a few odd or useless pioses
