3 years doing what?

3 years doing what? The first posts of the "A Wash of bourbon" come back will share with you what I paint in the last 36 months. Expect a chaos of scales, projects, all mingled and presented in no particular order. 

With no further ado: 

1/35 WW2 Soviet sailors (Zvezda) and infantry (Tamiya) with a KV2 (Trumpeter) and a M3 (New Ray) 

Zvezda soviet sailors, I buy it quite discounted as it was an old box "gathering dust" in a shop - always scout your local retailers sometimes bargain and gems are hidden - My guess that the newer box from the Russian manufacturer include the same sprues. The miniatures show their age a bit, details are a bit soft, mould lines and gaps between pieces are here. Nonetheless really a dynamic set - maybe too much - the officer is almost dancing, I bend is leg to get a more restrained stance. The poses evoke the propaganda posters. In the background an early ww2 infantryman , also from Zvezda, sneaked in the photo-call.

The sailor with the rifle and the lonely infantryman were painted 2 years ago I guess,  the rest between the last week and yesterday. 

The M3 from New Ray was labelled 1/32 but is smaller so perfect for support my soviet forces. It's not a real kit, even if it requires mounting, it's a more a toy but cheap and easier to get on the table. Don't expect model kit quality but I'm sure that loading it with the crew stuff it will look better. NewRay's WW2

diecasts are recommended. 

The Tamiya box is a steal (Russian army assault infantry) , if you're interested in 1/35 wargaming grab it !! It still can be found quite cheap and with 12 miniatures you have already a squad with some extras. They depict the late war soviet soldier but can be use I guess from 1942 onwards.  Clean casts, crisp details, really cool for dry-brushing and washes. A must. 

The huge KV2 towering his comrades was originally bought with another beast almost 10 years ago maybe?  for a imperial wh 40k project but -ohhh surprise- ended shelved until I started with the 1/35 madness and remembered their existence. His brother will probably turn into a beautiful, tough, massive objective for the tabletop. 

The miniatures were painted 2 years ago already. 

All this stuff will featured in more detail in future posts.

More miniatures painted, more brush madness, more compulsive project really soon!! 

Hasta luego, À tout de suite, See ya!
