The PTRD-41 was the Soviet anti-tank rifle that saw service from 1941. The single-shot (14.5 dia x 114mm) weapon became less and less effective against Germany armour as the war continued.
The Warlord boxset offers a multitude of options and enables you to create unique combinations of miniatures. I thought this set was reminiscent of the old Airfix multi-part plastic 1:32 scale figures. I have modified a number of the models from the plastic boxset but haven't had the opportunity to paint them up yet.
Although the Warlord figures are better models (in terms of both scuplting and detail) than those produced by Plastic Solder Company (PSC) they also work out more expensive per figure (as always, you get what you pay for). I'll be posting a number of models from various PSC sets set over the next few days.
Nice job. Price vs quality is always the argument these days it seems.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon and to quote a certain dictator, "Quantity has a quality all its own.”
DeleteVery nice paintjob!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteI go for quality......mostly....very nice Matt.
ReplyDeleteCheers Fran, the PSC 28mm infantry aren't up to the standards of the Warlord set but their later sets (heavy weapons, AT guns) are a lot better quality (and cheap!).
DeleteThat is an impressive looking weapon and beautifully rendered Sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you as always Michael, greatly appreciated.
DeleteNice paint job, its always a difficult decision but like you said"You get what you pay for!"
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray.
DeleteVery nice, I like the little details like the helmet and gun to the side.
ReplyDeletePrice vs quality... you might be still playing with them in 10 years time, who then will remember a few pence more per figure, but bad quality is always there to see. Buy the best you can imho.
Thanks oldenglandgrownnew, very true. Nice blog, I'm now following.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
