From MarkG: Drozdovsky Officer's Rifle Regiment (55 points)

 

Saturday, my next entry carries on the Russian Civil War theme. The figures are again 28mm from the 'Back of Beyond' range from Copplestone Castings. I’ve painted these up as the Drozdovsky Officer’s Rifle Regiment, another famous coloured unit in the White Volunteer army in the Don (later moving to Ukraine).

 

Again, I painted these with a mix of the Drab and Moss triads from Wargames Foundry, but added in an Agrax Earthshade wash after the base colours for some contrast.

As with my previous entry, I’ve given them the more worn look of a seasoned unit. The dress uniforms of the coloured regiments were exceptional, but bar the officers, I doubt many of the rank and file wore them on campaign.

As for the Challenge ‘entry fee’, I have sent a donation to the Cancer Research Foundation – Czech Republic; a very worthy charity: https://www.vyzkumrakoviny.cz/

The points summary:

11 x 5 = 55 points for 10 28mm foot miniatures.

Wow Mark, another great little study of the Russian Civil War, I do have to read up on it some time soon, do you have any good books you can reccommend? Anyay your painting is fantastic and I for one cannot wait to see where this project takes you next!

 Cheers Sander
