Bloody Big Bolshevik Parade!

 So here, as promised, is a parade of almost all my RCW Bolshevik collection - I left out most of the Matchbox Yesteryear vehicles and the 20+ individual "character" figures that we rarely have a use for - like the Tsar and his family, etc!

Apologies if some of the images are not the best.

The cavalry 3 x 10 of Old Glory WWI Russians

Mounted commander from Siberia Miniatures

Two regiments are sword armed.....

..... and one comprises lancers!

Naval Brigade

Females Sailors by Hinterland (no longer in production  😒 )

Coppletone HMG crew

Copplestone sailors

Brigade Games sailors

The "khaki" infantry units

These are mainly Copplestone and Brigade Games RCW Bolshevik figures

This unit of females is from Siberia Miniatures (some are actually Poles from the Soviet/Polish War but have been repurposed!)

Two snipers in Adrian helmets (donated by Rick, I think they may be Warlord??)

More images of the Siberia Miniatures range (a couple are from Hinterland, actually!)

These are the Latvian Rifle Division, a bit of an elite unit in the Bolshevik army, who wore Adrian helmets - the figures are actually 1940 French Dragons Portes by Crusader Miniatures (still need a commend element though...)

More Copplestone figures

Converted female troops, with head swaps from a variety of sources

I really like this Copplestone officer......

....... and this Bolshevik Heroines, inspiring the Red Army troops to acts of proletarian valour!

A mix of HMG crews

Siberia Miniatures females (Poles again)

Old Glory WWI

Siberia Miniatures

And here is a whole unit of Siberia Miniatures infantry, with a Copplestone commander

So Called "Elite" infantry wearing the distinctive Russian headgear - figures by both Copplestone and Brigade Games

These ones are all Brigade - and very nice they look, too!

A mixture of both brands, hopefully showing how well they work together

Copplestone field gun (top) and Siberia Miniatures (below) I just need to add a Brigade Games version and I will have the full set!

A Warbases MDF and stiff card Tchanka model

Old Glory resin Whippet tank

Old Glory resin Lanchester armoured car

And finally, the diminutive FT17 - again a resin kit from OG, with Copplestone infantry to give an idea of size.

Thats the parade completed for this month - lets see what army gets an outing in November, and I may parade that one next! In the meantime, in addition to painting and basing a mixture of figures, I have started reading this mighty tome, that John very kindly presented me with back in August, around the time of my sixtieth birthday

Thanks for dropping by and double thanks for leaving a comment - they are all greatly appreciated!
