New Unit: Soviet Naval Infantry Battalion

I've been on a bit of a roll lately. I just finished this unit for my new mini-campaign project. I've already sign up for Gnome  Con. Hopefully it will be ready by then. The new unit is the 1st battalion of the 36th Naval Infantry Brigade (I'm planning to use two).
The full battalion, 3 companies plus battalion AA platoon, AT platoon, and Mortar battery. I will eventually add a battalion command stand, but it's not need at this point. The backs of the stands (can be seen in any of the pictures) are color coded to show which combat stands belong to the battalion. I'm going to start doing that with all my FFT units.

I thought about having them in camouflage uniforms, but I just had to go with the black. I might do an air landing battalion in camouflage and black berets, but not for this scenario. Note I also experiment with putting stowage on the vehicles using plastic for ammo crates and modeling putty for tarps and cammo nets. 


I also added the Soviet naval ensign to the sides of the vehicles. Hopefully I'll get better at painting them
I still plan to work on my South African stuff. I got a new unit of that sitting on the side. And I have to do a lot of terrain pieces as well so hopefully I can keep this pace up.
