Chinese Army in 15mm - Part III


One down, three (or more?) to go!

After much painting and bleeding (I need to figure out a safer way to cut those puttees), I finished a platoon, and I think they turned out satisfactory. They don't have any basing or terrain, as I'm still deciding what I want to do, but I'm leaning towards something with a late autumn feel to it.


Something like this, I think.

A modification made, which I discussed earlier, was turning the Suomi kp/31 into an MP 28.


pew pew

This I did by cutting off the drum magazine and replacing it with a tiny bit of wire and covering it with Squadron green putty, then sanding once dried. It also received a left mounted box magazine, made from a bit of scrap metal. I cut the barrel down, thinking it looked too long for an MP28, but now I'm wondering if that wasn't a mistake.

I also added a chest-mag rig, as this seems to be how the Chinese who carried the MP28 were equipped. These were made out of Green Stuff/ Kneadatite, and while they would have carried more than three magazines, I was limited by my sculpting abilities. But I think they get the idea across.

Battalion of the Auspicious Pig

After almost a year, my Chinese battalion is finally done! While I may add another rifle company and more supporting elements later...
