Hello!

These are my Oddzial Osmy 3mm miniatures in progress. I am building up different Caucasian forces:

The Russian 70th MSB, 42th MSR, Caucasian military district, which took part in the Georgian war.

A Georgian tank bataillion of 2008.

Some Armenian and Azerian forces of the Nagorny Karabach conflict.

These are the parts of Russians and Georgian I have finished now:

Some more to do. The white part of the bases will get labels of nation and unit type. 3mm miniatures are really tiny, so some help is neede to sort them out on the table Smile

A russian Mi-24 bypassing:

A Su-25:

Base size of both is 2,5x2,5 cm. Or just a square inch.

Ari:
MT-12 ATG, D-30 howitzer, 152 mm SPGs (Dana and Akatziya). Plus an UAZ jeep.

Russian CO:

This is an Ural truck converted into an expandable command post, accompanied by a BTR-60 radio vehicle (which got an antenna mast). Base is 3 cm in diameter. The BTR is somewhat underscale Sad

A column of Azeri MTLBs, led by a PT-76:

I've used Doms decals for the stars. On all 6 positions, of course Approve

Also changed the base color from brown to sand to make the miniatures more visible. OK, not the plane, but everything at the ground Grin

Enjoy!

Lovely. How did you model the jet exhaust? It really brings the model to life!

Cheers

Black (or dark grey) pipe, light blue insert, orange center.

Light blue only was not bright enough. Model was 2 times gloss coated (before and after putting on the decals), then dull coated. Still has some shine, like a real jet.
