My Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War collection: Part 2: Russian figures

The second REALLY USEFUL BOX contained the Russian figures in my Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War collection.

Its contents comprised:

17 Officers

34 Gun crew

35 Infantry in greatcoats

37 Infantry in tunics

13 Factory Militia

4 Assorted Infantry

I then discovered a number of figures that had not been competed (i.e. the bases needed finishing).

6 Officers (2 are Naval Infantry Officers)

4 Cavalry

1 Maxim Machine Gun and 1 crewman

15 Naval Infantry

37 Infantry in greatcoats and tunics

The latter figures will make a great 'sorting the button box' exercise for me and completing them will hopefully go some way to reinvigorating my wargaming mojo.

  1. Discovering all that extra infantry 90% completed must have been a nice bonus!

  3. Great figures Bob. Sorting these particular buttons should certainly give the itch for a game!

    1. Maudlin Jack Tar,

      Cheers! I’ve found the process quite cathartic, and I’m looking forward to finishing off these figures … and then use them on my tabletop.

      All the best,

      Bob

  4. Nothing like massed ranks of toy soldiers to restore flagging spirits! Hope your mojo will soon be fully restored.
    Best wishes, Arthur
