Soviet Anti Tank Power vs. Panzer 38T's

While I am putting the finishing touches on my new modular terrain boards(something I've wanted to make for years), I thought I'd throw up some pics of some "newer" minis in my painted collection of 20mm WWII figures(in group shots)...

First up, various Soviet T-70 Light Tanks, 45mm Anti-Tank Gun and Crew, Anti-Tank Rifle Team and a light Russian mortar in the background.  All miniatures are from Plastic Soldier Company.
The second shot shows some of my German infantry from Plastic Soldier Company.  Also in the shot is a 75mm Infantry Gun by Zvezda(from their Art of Tactic line) with the crewmen being Fantassin/Warmodelling.  The Panzer 38T light tanks are from Pegasus Hobbies. 
As I type my brand new Pak 38 German anti-tank kit is on its way to me from the U.K.(couldn't wait for U.S. stores to stock it so ordered it directly from PSC).  So excited to get this new kit...

Also, my wife is being kind enough to build my Panzer IVH and Stug III kits from PSC in the meantime!

Thanks for viewing, happy wargaming everybody...

Soviet Anti-Tank Guns & Crew

Ever since reviving my enthusiasm for WWII miniatures one of the great pleasures has been discovering the fantastic line of plastic figures made by Plastic Soldier Company.  They are a pleasure to paint, easily customized and show real originality in terms of poses. 

(click on photos for larger images)
Here are my Soviet 45mm Anti-Tank guns with crewmen...
In reality each gun is crewed by four men but I haven't gotten around to painting more as of yet.  In fact, eight of the figures are from the artillery set and four are from the Russian Heavy weapons set intended as mortar crewmen(but I thought they mixed nicely).

Here is a shot of the crewmen without the guns...
The four figures on the left are from the 45mm AT gun set by PSC and the four on the right are from PSC's Russian Heavy Weapons set.

Finally, here is a shot of a 50mm Russian mortar and crewmen...
I've been painting 28mm Warmachine figures for so long that adjusting down to painting 20mm plastics is a bit of a challenge but my brush control is slowly adapting. 

Thanks for viewing...
