Space Comrades
The Space Comrades are done!
|
|
Space Comrades
Organized into four squads of ten, plus a five-man support section.
|

The obligatory overhead view.

Plasma gunner ready to melt the opposition.
|
|
Space Comrades
Brave sergeants lead the way.
|
|
Space Comrades
The rank and file.
|
|
Space Comrades
Pack details.
|
|
More troopers
Reinforcements on the way. To be quite frank, these figures are really irritating to assemble and... well, I've seen better casting quality.
|
|
First Comrade
The commander is ready. He was actually pretty fast to do. I resorted to plain old brushing because I didn't want to set up the airbrush just for one figure.
|
|
First Comrade
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
First Comrade
I haven't made a flag in quite a while... but it was actually fun doing the design.
|
|
First Comrade
Lesson learned: I painted the backpack separately this time. It doesn't make much difference for the regular troopers, but it makes painting the sergeants' heads much easier.
|
|
First Comrade
I just chopped off the sword and inserted some 2mm wire.
|
|
First Comrade
Ooh, another color. He's a big shot!
|
|
Space Comrades
All nicely tucked away for now.
|
|
Space Komsomol
The reinforcements are here! Space Komsomol join the fight!
|
|
Space Komsomol
Men, never put your hand in front of the muzzle like I'm doing here!
|
|
Space Komsomol
I don't know what's going on here. My elbows were stuck way the day I got off the sprue.
|
|
Space Komsomol
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Space Komsomol
Originally these figures came with some sort of butt flap armor, but it fitted so poorly and looked stupid so I left it off. Besides, if you get shot in the butt you probably deserved it.
|
|
Flight Crew
I got tired of green and decided to see, if these figures could be used for something else.
|
|
Flight Crew
They're all in kinda WTF? -poses...
|
|
Flight Crew
These are actually Starship Troopers, without the guns and armor panels and a new belt buckle cut from plastic rodding.
|
|
Flight Crew
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Space Komsomol
Space Komsomol class of 42013 assemble.
|
|
Space Komsomol
First row, kneel!
|
|
Space Komsomol
Why did I spend all that time painting the faces when my subtle highlights are hidden under the yellow plastic?
|
|
Just hanging around
I genuinely forgot it there for a day.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
This picture got used a lot.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Comrades discussing.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Pondering the points.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
The background is actually from a toy set.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
I could work on the lighting to reduce stupid glare.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
The face shields look stupid in closeups.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Macro sucks for depth.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
More troopers.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Confrontation.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Hey, I got one pose here...
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
...and another pose here!
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Heated discussion!
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Hey, don't point that at people!
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Posing.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Ooh, another pose!
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
What up, comrade?
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Gossip.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Hey, that really is not very polite!
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
I don't have any sights on this gun, I wouldn't hit you anyways.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Another shot.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
And a slight variation.
|
|
Rise of the Space Komsomol
Another day in the life of the comrades.
|
|
Walkers
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Walkers
Waiting for the canopy.
|
|
Walkers
Three walkers reinforce the Space Comrades lineup.
|
|
Walkers
I didn't feel confident enough to paint the struts on the canopy.
|
|
Walkers
I even managed to construct an illegal weapon combo for the game. Oh well, the claws just looked so stupid...
|
|
Walkers
The funny thing is that the little machine guns are actually better in game terms than the giant chaingun.
|
|
Walkers
Show your colors.
|
|
Walkers
Rear view.
|
|
Walkers
The bases are pretty uninspired. There would be space to do lots of things...
|
|
The Flight Crew
The crew assembles.
|
|
The Flight Crew
The head is from Gripping Beast saxons. I drilled out one of the original heads to create the empty helmet.
|
|
The Flight Crew
Air guitar champion.
|
|
The Flight Crew
No one knows I'm secretly a zombie.
|
|
The Flight Crew
Sorry guv, she's long due an overhaul.
|
|
The Flight Crew
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
The latest reinforcements assemble.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
Nice formation.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
I made these rifles from a bit of sprue and a nail, plus a scope from a Space Marine kit.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
For some reason, the sniper rifles don't come in the standard trooper sprue.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
Could have been better.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
Master Chief Gavin 'Gazzy' Thrakakis.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
A selection of rank insignia.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
Some more missiles.
|
|
Space Komsomol Reinforcements
Hmmm, another overhead view.
|
|
Drop Pod
Almost there!
|
|
Drop Pod
Darn, I didn't have all the transfers I planned to put in there. Oh well, let's call it done anyway.
