From the Shed: Chipping away at my Winter War project.

I’ve done a few more bits for my Winter War game project which I thought I’d share.

First up a Finnish 20mm zAnti Tank Rifle. A big powerful gun- there was only a single example in use during the Winter War.

Some prone Soviets, armed with a mix of rifles and light machine guns.

A Soviet sniper pair.

Finally a couple of Maxim medium machine gun teams (although technically speaking they wear the later M1940 helmet- I didn’t have any of the early ones spare to do head swaps on them.).

Cheers,

Pete.

  1. These look really good, Pete! 🙂 The only 20mm Russians with the earlier helmet I’ve seen (Shellhole I think) didn’t look all that different from the 1940 model anyway – the comb and flared sides seem to disappear at more than a few inches distance! Made me realise it wasn’t worth getting new troops for Khalkin Gol in 1939!

      Thanks John. I don’t think it is worth while swapping either- it is not that different. A bead of gel superglue across the crast could work… gives me something to think about.

      Cheers,

      Pete.

    Very nice! What scale are those? You probably mentioned it in an earlier entry, but I am too lazy to go look.

  3. Great work on these, Pete!

    Those are great! I can’t imagine the recoil from a shoulder-fired 20 mm gun!

  5. Those are lovely, tow things I love seeing are winter war figures and 20mm ones (I know I’m a bit odd like that!). Smashing stuff sir!

    Cheers Roger.

  6. Love the snowy bases – they look excellent

  7. Once again Pete great work, Happy New Year!

  8. Great work Pete you got the snow working really well on the bases. I really like the pair pulling the machine gun in the last image.
