I have started one of the Russian Survivor Squads I won at the Lonewolf. I thought I’d take some time with them and enjoy making them look like collector’s models - or as much as I can. The historical miniatures are different than the fantasy ones I have been painting. Some of the details are not quite as crisp (note some of the hands on the figures).

Part 1:

The figure on the left I initially thought was an ebony/black figure but the sculptor informed us it was a Siberian male. I have since changed the skin tone and pics of him will be posted near the end of this section. This other figure has the aura of a guy who has seen the elephant many times.

Part 2:

I leapt ahead and finished one of the squad just for chuckles and grins. Again, I’m pleased with the figure and how it was sculpted and I feel like the paint job is pretty good.

Part 3: 

I have finished the second member of my survivor squad. I think this pose is the best of the lot and I am glad the Secrets of the Third Reich (SOTR ) range comes with the Separate Head System (SHS). It’s a clever concept but can allow for some minor variations of figures with great results. I again attempted to paint the cloak using camoflage patterns. I *did* highlight this one more than the last but it’s still not very evident. When I started to do the pattern highlights, they seemed to change the way the pattern appeared.

The base was made from green stuff and parakeet gravel. The flock is from GF9’s new range. The skull comes from a Reaper Master Series Paint bottle that I had finished up. I used metallics on the metal rather than using a NMM technique but I got the transitions smoother than in the previous miniature so I am pleased with that. This is a guy that has seen some action….
