Again my drab 28mm schemes did not translate as well to 15mm. The larger guns (compared to GZG 15mm) and the red berets salvaged the army to a degree. I really like the pulpy character of the Micropanzer stuff but I would comment on a lack of variety in the poses.
The aim of this army was to do a British Red Berets/Russian paratrooper crossover.
The small GZG APCs were to fulfil a fire-support like the Russian BMD, transporting a 4-man fire team. My use of camoflage and washes on 15mm vehicles was a bit of a failure. I need to come back and highlight/drybrush them with sharper contrasts.
The small GZG hover scout vehicles are REALLY small and the bulky Micropanzer troops highlighted this. I love GZG stuff, but their scout vehicles in general look hard pressed to accomodate 1 trooper, let alone a 2-3 man crew. They tend to look a bit out-of-scale on the tabletop.
