First Painted Figures of 2020!

The painting mojo was strong this weekend and so rather than play game two of my OHSW campaign, I went with it, as I hadn't painted anything since early December.

First up, the leader of the Ginland force. His rank and name have yet to be determined, only that no matter where the fighting takes place, he insists on riding a camel.

Are they over here?

Maybe they're over here.

The commander bravely leads his troops into battle!

The officer and his camel are Armies in Plastic figures. The camel you may have seen previously here, but the officer was sadly lacking a paint job until now. The color schemes for both came from Britains and other examples on eBay (not exactly first rate historical uniform research on my part but I think the figures look the part).

And, while less colorful, certainly no less useful if you're the Soviet army in WWII:

Zdis!

I went with the grey coat this time (my other stand has a brown great coat) - watching Russian WWII movies has given me the impression that Soviet uniforms were anything but, and so I'm trying to capture that variety here and there.

These figures are the inexpensive knock-offs of Italeri figures. The plastic is hard and takes scraping with a knife well, although you'd never know it, since apparently I couldn't be bothered cleaning these two. In any case, the only real downside besides the mold lines are the deep injection points - green stuff and/or glue is your friend!

Tonight will see the delayed game two of my campaign - unless I really feel the need to paint of course!
