I'm presenting this very nice figure from Evolution miniatures-soviet officer from GRU-Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoye Upravleniye (Гла́вное разве́дывательное управле́ние in Russian), i.e. Military intelligence (from Aghanistan 1984-1989).
The figure is superbly cast, my only worry is the attachment point on the muzzle of the AKS-74-one should be very careful when removing the weapon.

I'm not very familiar with that type of Spetsnaz uniforms, so any info for the colors would be appreciated

Thanks!

This looks to be great figure and we'll cast

The detail is excellent indeed

What I found for the uniform is that is called Gorka ("Горка"-Костюм горный in Russian), i.e. Mountain suit, the other name was "Mobutu".

Gorka

The color looks like khaki, but I'm sure there are variations.

Starting with the face and head painting, first time using Scale75 Flesh colors set and I really like them-they blend nicely and with good consistency









Venelin

Impressive work on the face.

Thank you, Alex!

Closer photos, and I think this is the one of the best faces I've made so far (not mentioning the superb sculpt, of course), I just like the expression so much







Cheers!

Very nice, I like it a lot.

Keep it up,
Mario

Thanks, Mario!

Continuing with the base color of the Gorka suit, highlights and bleaching with mixing with lighter color:









Cheers!

Painting the various equipment







Venelin

Very nice. This is an amazing figure and you are definitely doing it justice.

Well done.
Mario

Those Adidas sneakers don't seem to be standard Red Army footwear...

Beautiful work so far!

Thanks again, Mario!




Thank you, Israel!
I'm pretty sure wearing the standard boots in hot weather is real pain, so they probably preffered the sneakers. And in Special troops they were allowed to wear non-formal equipment, as far as I know

Painting the AKS-74 and gluing the arms.







Cheers!

Looks just like the second chap from the left...

Looks like, slightly

Painted the Adidas sneakers and the sleeping bag (I guess). I have to make the rifle and binoculars straps, and some touch-ups on the uniform







Cheers!

Amazing work!

Figure painting is always the hardest task for me. The attention to detail and skill you have is something I really admire.

Very nice. Is some kind of vignette in your plans?

Mario

Thank you, Keigan!

Mario, I have something in mind-mountain/hilly scene, but first I intend to make the vignette for the "Duck feet" Navy SEAL

Venelin

Awesome painting job on that figure. I hope my figure painting skills turn out this good.

Thank you, Charles!

I made the rifle and binoculars slings and also enchanced the highlights on the wrinkles of the uniform slightly, for more faded look:







Cheers!

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing the figure with us.

Keep us posted on the vignette.

Mario

very nice work! Cheers!
