Well I purchased the book Notes Of A Sniper, Written By Vasilli Zaitsev... which was never translated until 2003 into english...
In the center were a few photos of Vasilli and some other stalingrad stuff. One of Civillian Volunteers, EX workers at the tractor factory, caught my eye in particular.
This man is in his early 40's. When the battle started he left the tractor factory, scrounged up what weaponry and equipment he could, and volunteered to fight. This civilian is armed with a SVT 40. He was lucky enough to find one lying around. he hides it when actual soldiers are about so they wont try to steal it from him. The rest of his armament includes a Walther ppk, a German smoke grenade, and a molotov cocktail.
This Bash i comprised of mostly extra parts i had lying around that i couldnt use. I was planning on using a nagant but i already had the SVT. The uniform is a DML paratrooper under shirt, Misha's padded jacket, german trousers, A DML scarf, TUS boots, and a repainted/modified TUS spetznaz cap.
LMK what you guys think, I added the refference picture at the end. He isnt modeled after any specific guy. I just kinda took creative freedom with the project. It was also a good way to cheaply boost up my Russian ranks...
