From DaveD - Landship Mark V - Bolsheviks (20 points)

Well it wouldn’t be a Thursday without me doing something for my Bolshevik army. So to keep that Thursday tally going here is some armour for my Bolsheviks . In the form of a British Mk V tank . The Brits shipped around 70 as part of their intervention effort to bolster the failing Imperial Russian forces They were used around Archangel and in the Southern front area.  Some were destroyed to stop them falling into enemy hands but some were captured and repurposed. The Brits used them with the Whites in 1919 attacking Tsaritsyn - eg Stalingrad , now Volgograd. Well my Bolos have acquired one.

Some were used in Tallin in 1941 against the Germans and were shipped back to Berlin as prizes, and after 45 ended up back in museums in the Soviet Union.

This is a big old beast. Two guns and four MGs. Very useful. Unrealiable as hell.   Even more so in the back of beyond.

 

This only arrived in the post on Tuesday, so it’s been a quick turn around. 

This is a 3d print piece that had the rails on the top to stick on and that was it . A dark olive green Tamiya  rattle can and green olive paint pen for the paint job , Black grey for the track's , then an oil wash and dry brush of beige brown. I added some tubing to carry a flag that can be removed or swapped out .  I found some large stars in the decals stash and added these then painted the hammer and plough emblem in the middle. 

I will look out for a suitable figure to use as a commander as one stood out of the  hatch waving a flag would look cool. 

What better than to use the imperialist's weapons against them. “Workers of the world unite!”

Points 1x 28mm vehicle - 20

Indeed it doesn't feel like Thursday without one more addition to this fabulous project. The silhouette of these armoured vehicles is notorious, another iconic piece of kit that really "makes" a period and setting jump out on the table. Your description of the work implies that this was something of a rushed job, and perhaps it was by your standards, but it looks terrific. 

Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose except everything as the bolshevik filth steal all you have and kill you and everyone you love! Hmm...maybe they had a different slogan for the flags...I definitely need to try this as a project next year!

Another 20 points comrade Dave! Excellent stuff.
