RCW - Bolsheviks

A little more progress on this project. Another 18 figures added to the collection. First up is a few officers, flag bearer and a lewis gun to be added into units.



The flag was a free download from the internet. Finding in rather difficult to find any of my usual sources selling flags for this period.

Next up is another 13 riflemen, all from Copplestone castings. These are lovely and easy to paint. I went for a mix of colours on the greatcoats just to add a little irregularity to the units.



So this brings the collection up to 28 completed figures. I have a few more lewis guns and command figures undercoated. After this I have 10 Elite Bolshevik infantry as well as a couple of orders in for 20 more riflemen and some Bolshevik cavalry.



If I go for basic 10 men units for FFOL Bigger battles, this should give me 6 infantry units, support team and some cavalry. Will then need to make some more purchases to build up the cavalry in particular.

    Nicely done I agree easy to paint and good quality figures. More cavalry would be nice I plan to use my recent afghans in that role. I really struggled to find flags and can’t remember where I did ?

    Great Bolshevik forces there Scotty - the flags look familiar to me - I managed to find quite a few via Google but I had to keep doing nuanced searches - Bolshevik flags, Red Army Flags etc...I even managed to find one for the Red Navy that I used for my Bolshevik sailors
