WIP Neo Soviet infantry

Hi guys, here are my WIP Neo Soviet near future infantry, they are Khurasans Neo Respublik figs, the originals are nice, but they are very uniform in appearance, I wanted a bit of a motley look to my Russians, so I have added some armour and equipment to them, they will be painted in a mix of uniforms, and done a lot of head swaps I used WWII German caps and helmets, and re shaped the helmets a little, so they are more modern.
I was sold on painting them a range of browns and Khakis, but looking at pics of the troops in the Ukraine I am now not sure, all C&C welcome.

  2. I can only echo AJ's comment and commend you on the customisation. The conversion heads with German WW2 field caps look great, and are a good scale match- are they snipped from existing minis, or are they from someone like Peter Pig?

  3. Hi Gunrunner, the heads are from command decision figs.

  6. Nice work. I've done a few headswaps with my Eureka Ventaurans - using Astro Miniatures Bearded/Mustache heads http://astrominiatures.blogspot.com

    It's amazing how a couple of headswaps can really refresh a unit.
