I was really impressed with the casting quality and they were a joy to paint. I used mainly hobby shop acrylics and of course, the figures needed to be named.<\/p>\n<p>I really liked the RPG figure with tank crew hat \u2013 I think my favourite. The next three I painted in Urban winter style camouflage and did a head swap on Kovacs, the piping on the track suit bottoms I added with a fineliner brush.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2011\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2011\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2011\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/2020\/04\/20\/nimzos-crew\/image003-20\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-e1587022766720.jpg?fit=800%2C325&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,325\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image003\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;(l\/r Blokin, Zeitsev, Nimzovitch (Nimzo), Sashlik)&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-e1587022766720.jpg?fit=840%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-e1587022766720.jpg?resize=800%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"325\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2011\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2011\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(l\/r Blokin, Zeitsev, Nimzovitch (Nimzo), Sashlik)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The second set I painted a forest digitised camouflage adding extra dots of paint with a cocktail stick. <\/p>\n<p>You need a sniper called Zeitsev \u2013 the Stalingrad hero!.
