More or less the last of the 3d printed stuff from Australia tonight - eight bog standard infantrymen from The Great Patriotic War.
The Red Army provided the largest ground force in the Allied victory in the European theatre of World War II, and its invasion of Manchuria assisted the unconditional surrender of Japan. During its operations on the Eastern Front, it accounted for 75–80% of the casualties that the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS suffered during the war, and ultimately captured the German capital, Berlin.
Up to 34 million soldiers served in the Red Army during World War II, 8 million of which were non-Slavic minorities. Officially, the Red Army lost 6,329,600 killed in action (KIA), 555,400 deaths by disease and 4,559,000 missing in action (MIA) (mostly captured). The majority of the losses, excluding POWs, were ethnic Russians (5,756,000), followed by ethnic Ukrainians (1,377,400).[3] Of the 4.5 million missing, 939,700 rejoined the ranks in liberated Soviet territory, and a further 1,836,000 returned from German captivity. The official grand total of losses amounted to 8,668,400










Love them! Great minis and fantastic painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal I am pleased you think so!
DeleteNicely painted figures to add to your Eastern front armies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteThese look great as always Keith. The range of kit and poses is tops.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Cheers James, I do like the huge range of poses available via 3d printing.
DeleteGreat additions there Keith:). I must admit I always had a fondness for the Summer smock they wore, which looked so simple but such a useful garment.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Steve, plus the fore and aft caps with the red star badge on the front!
DeleteNice Keith they certainly look Russian 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt - I am very glad to read that!
DeleteNice poses and great paint work, Keith.
ReplyDeleteCheers Richard
DeleteThirty-four million, and it seems you are well on the way to achieving that as a goal Keith. Great work again on these.
ReplyDeleteHaha...my wife would probably agree with you Lawrence!
DeleteLovely work mate! How do they scale up next to say, Warlord figs?
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai, I think they work OK together...I will put up a comparison image next post
DeleteSome great figures, Keith. I do like the kneeling machine gunner.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray - not that I am trying to tempt you or anything - but they do have Winter War figures - see here, for example

I am sure you can get them from a UK supplier! I have seen Finns with a Reindeer pack animal - if I was you, I would HAVE to get a couple of those!
Well they’re jolly arent they. Nicely proportioned and in good poses. Top stuff.
ReplyDeleteIf you can call hardened Communists with a life expectancy of six weeks jolly, JBM, then, yes, they are! Like hard plastic figures before them, they are able to be much more accurately proportioned than yer traditional metal toy sodgers!
DeleteThey look great Keith. The bases are excellent.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ben - out of circulation NZ 2c or 10c copper coins (I can't remember which) I bought about 500 of them for NZ$20 a few years back!
DeleteSuper work Keith, very nicely done, they look great miniatures too, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Donnie, they are very nice 3d prints!
DeleteSuperb additions Keith
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty, glad you think so 👍
DeleteMore great looking Soviet work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon...you have been a bit quiet recently, everything OK?
DeleteNot OK but home again and trying to get back on track.
DeleteOh ok - very sorry to hear that - hopefully not anything too impactful.
DeleteGreat looking 3d prints, I think the helmets work particularily well?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain....do you mean the shape or varying shades of green?! I can only take credit for the latter 😀
DeleteClassic Soviet Infantry…
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed…
All the best. Aly
