Hello, all--

I'm doing a Chechnya scene with a T-72 and maybe a BRDM. But I'm having a hard time finding figures. I picked up some nice ones from Tank Models of two infantrymen in winter gear, plus a tank crew, and Evolution Miniatures' set of the two guys helping the wounded tanker.

Are there any other sources? I've seen some pictures that Rest Models supposedly has done, but have never been able to find the figures for sale anywhere.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim W.

Tim here is a link you can buy from Rest. http://www.restmodels.com/?p=model&id=22&s=1&l=en
I've ordered from them and takes about 3 weeks to arrive here in the US and quality is pretty good.

Also another place to check out is Ant Miniatures. http://ant-shop.com/index.php/resin-kit/scale-1-35.html
I have every single one of their modern russian figures and I can't say enough good things about them. It took anywhere from 3-5 weeks for the stuff to arrive here. Their mostly FSB figures but with some work they could be made into chechnya styls troops. Viktor was even kind enough to through in a couple extra figures since I made a rather large order with him.

Cheers

Look for Masterclub figures, they have plenty of modern Russians.

Excellent!

I'm planning an Afghanistan dio at some point in the future, so those other figures could come in handy.

Thanks again!
