Dear Commissar Rudolf,
I'm very impressed by the Finnish company you have painted and equally jealous of your painting skills. I'm just putting together some Finns and have finished one Jalkavaki platoon, heavy weapons, BA-10s and some T-26s. Your level of detail is awesome - which green did you use for the Jaakari badges?
Kind regards,
Mike
PS I thought the sauna was great. Scratch built?
Thank you and welcome aboard!
The green used in the patches is Vallejo Sick green, which equals Citadel's Snot green. And yes, the sauna is scratch built from wood and plastic with very small stones on the stove.

Ditto here - I'm not into FoW but the paint job is great, and the sauna a brilliant idea. The badges - good grief! Nice work indeed. I visited the military museum in Helsinki in August, as well as that on Suomenlinna - your troops depict the feeling of high quality troops resisting larger forces, so clear in some of the photos and maps in the museums, brilliantly.
Thanks. I have visited those museums myself, and liked them very much. But my favourite is the Armour museum in Parola. They have all kinds of stuff from just-after-WWI to modern stuff. Few of the old tanks are actually in running condition, and have taken part in various military history performances. They also have good amounts of anti-tank weapons, from Molotov cocktail and light guns to bazookas of cold war and modern ATGM. Also an armoured train at the back of the hill there.
