Soviet horsemen, 28mm
Posted: May 13th, 2017, 2:17 pm
I wanted some horsemen for my 28mm Red Army… but… there was a problem.
No one produce them.
To be honest… someone has (only) three ww2 soviet horsemen miniatures in his catalogue, but i don't like them a lot, 'cause are too static, as in a parade.
Soviets had a lot of cavalry battalion in ww2, rarely used in charge ( but the 'soviet' cossacks, of course): horses were a good system to move into the steppes.
On the web i learned how to make a conversion. I bought a box of 'American civil war cavalry', 12 plastic horsemen from Perry, and i did a 'cut and paste' with my plastic soviet infantrymen from Warlord and Plastic soldiers. The standard bearer, from Warlord, it's the only metal's.
