1:32 WW2 Russian Infantry in Winter Dress

These figures came in a bucket with two of each figure and some cannons from a different time period. Having no idea what company made them, I posted thia entry at TMP and asked for help in identifying them. I've since been told that these are recasts of Italeri's 1:72 Russian Infantry (Winter Uniform) as well as some figures from the 1:32 set of the same maker. The figures came molded in green with very, very basic flesh slapped on as well as a horrible drybrush. I repainted them green.



A good assortment of uniforms and headgear. Above, a soldier wearing the  M1940 helmet with the  regulation service uniform. 


This figure is wearing the ushanka cap and the telogreika quilted jacket.
 

The mortar man behind is wearing the Soviet greatcoat.


I'm keeping my eyes out for more of these and will pick up the origianl 1:32 set too.

HäT Industrie 1:72 Polybian Roman Army

I'm a fan of HäT Industrie's small-scale figures and soon decided that I needed an army of their Polybian Romans. I mean -- who doesn't need an army or two? My Polybian legion is currently composed of various HäT Industrie 1/72 plastic scale models. The company is a designer & manufacturer of 1/72 and 1/32 scale soft plastic and 28mm hard plastic military miniatures designed with the plastic toy figure collector, wargamer or hobbyist in mind. I've included notes taken from Wiki regarding the figures depicted. The Polybian legions of the early Roman republic was a manipular army whose structure was based partially upon social class and partially upon age and military experience. The army is based on units called maniples (Latin manipulus singular, manipuli plural, from manus, "the hand"). Maniples were units of 120 men each drawn from a single infantry class. The maniples were small enough to permit tactical movement of individual infantry units
