Cold War Ideas...

I was looking around at the available STL files for some figures to use as Sandinistas. I found some on Wargaming3d. There is a maker named Miska Miniatures that does some Cuban figures in caps. These are ideal. They have a pack that has a squad in it. Included is a squad leader, an RPG gunner, a PKM gunner, a RPK gunner and four riflemen. For variants there is another pack with three riflemen. He has a 3rd pack that has some helmeted figures. It is another squad but the squad has helmets except for one figure. This looks less useful. I probably would not pick those up. I would like an officer figure but I may have to use some figures from Peter Pig to supplement. I suspect the the figures would be set up for 28mm and would need to be shrunk. I suspect that it could cause some issues with the weapons.

I just took another look. They do have a command element with an officer, an RTO, and an additional rifleman. They also have a guy with a scoped rifle and a beret. Not sure why it has a beret. But he looks cool in sunglasses and a cigar. There are also some support weapons. The gun grew with the AGS-17 look good as does the DSHK team. I would need to add some riflemen to complete out the crew. They also have an ATGM team with a mix off caps and helmets.

If I can get these to shrink down to 1/100th scale, this may be the way to go. I think I would get the three rifleman pack to do test prints with before going full in with this.
