Once the bases are done I'll get photos of the rest posted up.
Some of my minis from November (which I think I didn't post before) and December.
A peasant and some Sohei.
Some more peasants and some Samurai.
A unit of Ashigaru.
And Kuroda Nagamasa (in the balck armour) and some attendants.
Plus the aforementioned Russian Truck and Jeep.
The Truck is a Russian 1.5 ton Cargo Truck Model 1941, a stripped down version of a truck produced by a Russian firm based on a license from an American company. Angular fenders, cloth doors, only 1 headlight, no front brakes and a largely wooden framework meant that it was cheap and easy to produce.
The Jeep is a Russian GAZ-67B Field Car. After the Russians obtained samples of the US Jeep, they worked to adapt it to Russian conditions. After a design-to-production period of just 51 days, the GAZ-64 was made. Based on feedback from the frontlines, several changes were made to the engine and steering, resulting in the GAZ-67. In 1944, the radiator was enlarged and a tow hook was added to create the GAZ-67B.
Russian vehicles were generally a dark green. In winter a coat of white water based paint or lime dissolved in water was applied as camouflage. The dirt was an optional extra.
