Found these Star Wars toys and the ideas just starting pouring in. Imperial Guard roughly 1/32 primed black now painted in RAF desert pink as a base for the "pink" camo that Russia's Paratroops seem fond of. More to come  :cheers:

Well, Reagan did refer to the Soviet Union as an "Evil Empire".

Ha! Don't forget the Star Wars Program too. Got another layer of camo on but the light is not good anymore for pics. Post them tomorrow and put them on before adding the last layer of camo  :thumbsup:

"Comrade, I find your lack of faith in the Party disturbing."

Somehow I don't think the Empire or the Sith would exactly fit the Soviet ethos.  "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice."  That's just not "egalitarian" enough for for a worker's state.
