The Man Cave Ver. 1.1



I just got a new PC, so I went out to Ikea and got a clean looking trestle table and brought out a lighted globe I had stuffed away.  The picture below was taken with low light, just the way I like it in the man cave.

28mm WWII Sovet Infantry




I recently completed some 28mm Soviet WWII Infantry from Plastic Soldier Company.  I don't like these plastic figures as much as metal figs.  While the sculpts are more to scale than most, the plastic rifles tend to break or bend, and there is not much "depth" to the sculpting . . . there are not cuts and folds in the sculpt for the brush to find and help bring out detail.  Also, as you can see from the side by side shot with a Westwind (?) metal figure, their size is larger than most metal figures.
