InCountry Games 28mm Modern Figures

 I painted these as a commission recently and thought I'd share since there is not many photos online of the finished products from this new company. 


The figures had great detail and were fun to paint.

20mm Marine Raider Squad on Patrol

I just finished painting these Marine Raiders. They're converted from Vepa miniatures. 

I did a mix of MARPAT and M81, which seems pretty common in the unit. 


Thanks for looking.

20mm Modern Russian Special Forces (SSO)

I have been wanting to recreate in miniature some of the Russian Special Forces units seen recently in Syria. Elhiem make some figures that will work, and I enjoyed painting them in the past, but my tastes have changed. I prefer the Alex Miniatures Russians now, but they require some modification. 


I purchased two of the Alex sets, and some special forces AKs and heads from Elhiem, and did some conversions. 

Hopefully I will have a painting update soon. 

Thanks for looking!

20mm Modern Russian Infantry - work in progress

 I just wanted to share a quick update on some Modern Russians I'm painting. These are made by Alex miniatures, sold by Tankograd internationally. I highly recommend them as the best 20mm Russians available. They go very nicely with the Xan US I have been working on. 


Thanks for looking.

Some Modern US Army - Work in Progress

I just wanted to post a quick update of what I'm working on. The Romans I showed last time were a bit of a chore, so I decided to do something completely different and revisit some Modern 20mm topics. For this I chose the old Vepa 1/72 US Army figures now sold by Empress. They are the best 20mm metal moderns - it's just too bad that most other ranges don't come close.  

For now I'm doing a squad in Universal Camouflage Pattern (the grey kind) and another in Multicam (the newer green camo). 


Here's an incomplete figure in Multicam. I used my old tutorial as a basis, but have added some additional fine washes and highlights. 



Here's a contrast between the two. I'm doing the UCP guys as 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan in the mid 2000s, and the Multicam ones as contemporary 82nd Airborne. 






Designated marksman - I love this mini.
