Engineer Basevich Red Army (1 Viewer)

In line with current threads regarding Russian plastics, I have just finished painting some of the second set of figures from Engineer Basevich.
Russian Civil War, Red Army 1917-1922. A mixture of Army and Naval infantry these are the first five figures of a set of ten.

That's some mighty fine painting. But why do they all look so happy?

Most impressive painting finish as per usual Mike! {bravo}}

Do you only paint plastics or do you have any metal figures in your collection?

Thanks Jeff, I have almost all the metal figures made by Conte, some of which I have painted and posted on this forum. I also buy the occasional castings if they catch my eye.

Thanks Russ, they are quite nice figures however the early sets such as these do need a bit of work prior to painting as they do suffer from a lot of flash and mould marks where they were attached to spru's. The later sets such as the Ancient Jews and Cuban revolution are considerably better.
Have a good time at the Texas show.
