You'll remember
this gang from a while ago. White Russians looking to cause a Romanov restoration; at least that's what the Mission Statement says. But, as we all know, missions have a habit of creeping and they don't come much creepier than this character. Wears his heavy overcoat and ushanka
all the time, even in the hottest places. This is a left over from his means of escape from The Red Hordes: he was forced into a refrigerated meat wagon which traversed Siberia in the dead of winter. I like that he's a bit porky too, or is that just layers under that greatcoat? Note the wagging finger; he's given to declaiming at the drop of a hat; he's also a pretty good shot to boot, favouring a Luger-style gat. He made his way west via Shanghai to rendezvous with The Baron in Paris. Ladies and gentlemen I give you
Vasily Tiklikov (you'll just have to practice saying it I'm afraid.....)
The figure is a
Bob Murch Pulp figure from the Spies set. Thankfully
NorthStar in UK are now selling these wonderful figures. After the usual clean-up I undercoated with matt black
Plastikote and then painted the toy with
Vallejo paints. I have to say it was a joy to paint and I am looking forward to daubing the others.
Here's Vasily with his new besties:
Updates as they happen, Chumrades!
