More moderns primed & ready for painting later this week: front row, half a dozen GRU, rear row, 6 x PMC security detail #BoltActionModern #28mm #7DTTRR

The next bunch of (mainly) Spectre Miniatures 28mm insurgents are ready for the painting table. This group (and the second of a similar size) will bring the painted MENA force up to 70 miniatures…..that’s probably enough for now ;-) #BoltActionModern #MENA #7DTTRR

That’s them finished…..so what’s next? Maybe a few more insurgents #BoltActionModern #MotherRussia #7DTTRR

Pant job is done on these Rosgvardia, basing to be completed tomorrow #28mm #MotherRussia #BootActionModern #7DTTRR

Got the camo palette sorted, tomorrow I’ll get the first infantry squad, the SPG 9 anti tank team, and the AGS 17 and crew finished up #28mm #BoltActionModern #7DTTRR

A massive thank you to @lordraglan.bsky.social for his hospitality and a fantastic and close game using a combo of Bolt Action Modern rules with the activation system of #7DTTRR I’ve well & truly refound my modern mojo……time to break out my recently acquired 100+ unpainted #28mm Spectre minis

Finished the Soviet infantry for my #ColdWarGoneHot project. All miniatures are #15mm Battleftont but will be used for #NORTHAG #7DttRR and #CWC2 rather than #TeamYankee

Apologies for the stinking cold: here’s an update on painting my #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot Soviet Motor Rifles for #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

That’s enough for tonight. Boots, flesh and some detailing tomorrow and the first company of Soviet Motor Rifles will be ready for basing #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 #TeamYankee

Test base of my “quick paint” #15mm #Soviets complete and colour palette finalised. Paint reference sheet incoming! On with the next 9 bases :-) #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #TeamYankee

Quick #WW3 Soviets, stage 3: stick to bases and give helmets a coat of Vallejo Russian Uniform #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2

Quick #WW3 Soviets, Stage 2: After Humbrol “Desert Tan” rattle can to all, cover liberally in GW Skeleton Horde contrast paint…..voila that’s 90% of the uniform done #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2

Primed and ready: I’ve still got a few days spare before I head for the hills so thought I’d make a start on my #15mm Soviet Motor Rifles for my #ColdWarGoneHot project #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 Figures are Battlefront plastics from their Soviet Starter set (great value)

#15mm Soviet BM-27 rockets built & basic colours applied. Windows, wheels & detailing tomorrow. Will be used as objectives in my #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 games.

As I’m off on my travels again next week (until late May) I wanted a little project towards my #ColdWarGoneHot games that would just take me a couple of days: so today I’m building, and starting to paint, 3 x 15mm Soviet BM-27, which will be used as objectives in my #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 games.

Ordered a couple of little additions to add to the very excellent Soviet Starter Force that makes the core of my #15mm Soviet force #ColdWarGoneHot #7DttRR #CWC2

For my records #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot Soviet AFV paint job 1: Ammo Military Green Matt Primer (all) 2: Ammo Dark Brown Acrylic Wash (all) 3: Val. Green Grey drybrush (all) 4: Val. Middlestone drybrush (all) #7DttRR #NORTHAG #CWC2 #TeamYankee

Paint job finished on the 2x #15mm Lynx for my #ColdWarGoneHot project. Next up are another 5 Warriors for the Brits, but I fear the lurgy has got me and I may be out of commission for the rest of the week as I feel like I’m swallowing razor blades & have stinging eyes :-( #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

Tomorrow: Just windows left to do on the two #15mm Lynx for the Brits #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

Sunday’s progress on the #15mm Lynx AT support for the British of my #ColdWarGoneHot project #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

Re-painted Tonka cockpit #15mm #NORTHAG #CWC2 #7DttRR #ColdWarGoneHot

#15mm British Lynx TOW underway for #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot

Part 2…..BMP 2 #15mm #Soviet #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot

Part 1……BMP 2 #15mm #Soviet #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot

#15mm Tonka: Canopy and camo applied, now onto detailing & weathering #NORTHAG #CWC2 #7DttRR #ColdWarGoneHot

British Air Assets: One Tonka built, one more to make :-) Painting this afternoon #15mm #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #ColdWarGoneHot

Back after 5 weeks away, and thought I’d finish off my Spartan Blowpipe teams and my FAC in his Spartan. Just decals and some mud & dust to add, then on to the British air support in the form of Lynx & Tornadoes #15mm #7DTTRR #Northag #CWC2

Looking for recommendations for a decent looking Soviet Cold War era Green base colour / coloured primer (for #15mm vehicles) that’s in a rattle can please (I don’t do airbrushes)
#ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #TeamYankee

I won’t use them for in game units (as they would be sat way back from the frontline fighting), but this box will of Soviet Rocket Launchers came up on EBay for half the retail price so I grabbed them. They’ll make nice objectives for my #ColdWarGoneHot games #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

Zealand in the Eighties. Danish forces fight a gallant, but ultimately futile defence of a small town in last night's #7DTTRR game against @andycrow.bsky.social's Soviet horde.

Forgotten what fun 'Seven Days' is and happy the Danes took it to extra time and a seventh turn...
