Characters :RCW

Have been working on several units over the weekend as well as another virtual game. But finished these as a priority as I have needed some RCW standards for a while. I have tried several sources but not found what I wanted commercially so in the end opted for internet and self printing. They haven’t come out too bad .
This guy is from the White Russians in Chinese service set I just didn’t give him white socks
This chap will be playing from now on as a Cossack, the flag is I believe a rough approximation of the Terek Cossack Banner, it isn’t so shiny in real life that is just my poor photograph ☹️
In my last Copplestone order I picked up the female ‘Reds’ and here the first full of revolutionary zeal, we will have some special rules when she gets to the front line
Finally as well as cycling a bit each week I mashed another walk on Sunday...which stayed dry an atmospheric shot looking south from the northern fells.

More stuff on the way and still a couple of games to blog KBO 😀

    1. Thanks Stuart, the photos of the period are of course all black and white yet the sense is it was quite a colourful period

    1. Thanks Iain my worry with printing at home is the colours all running but this didn’t happen ? I hadn’t thought about her as a singer, presumably a stirring revolutionary anthem to get the Reds motivated !
