I hope November is finding everyone well. It was great to see the snow hit relatively early this year, and not as great to see it go away...although there is a little left on the ground and the temperatures are at least within the norms. As the current year has gone by I see that my blog-fu or steadfastness has waned a little with less posts than I would like. Rest assured, I have continued painting...perhaps at a lower rate, but I am still wading through the crowd on the painting table.
I wanted to throw a quick post at the internets with some models that I completed earlier this year. These are a bunch of SU85's that my buddy Duncan gave to me which he had 3d printed. They were very clean and didn't present any annoying lines and whatnot. I elected to paint them up moreso for post-WW2 than a pure Soviet WW2 unit.
So, with that as my intent, I went with an olive brown/brown violet base. If I'm honest, I had them socked away for a bit, pulled them out and had SU-122 on the brain and thought, hey I can just paint these up for some possible Cubans as part of Team Yankee Red Dawn...research corrected me rather quickly, but I still painted them up that way. Not only will they serve as fine proxies should I need, but I thought they would do well in the Afropian theatre of operations. Some post-45 Soviet military aid to a developing nation in dire need of a solid ride for their imperious leader.
I hope you enjoy the pics. Cheers.
