Zona Alfa is set in an Exclusion Zone in Eastern Europe, most of the weapons and equipment are assumed to be either Soviet or Russian.
Empress Miniatures has two Soviet/Russian equipped ranges - the Ultramodern Russian range and the Universal Soldier range. The Russian range includes helmeted heads with gas masks.
For the first squad (limited as I have only one set of five gas mask heads), I am using Russian bodies for Veteran and Hardened characters and Universal Soldier bodies for Rookies.
This is the first one assembled and painted.
The figure is from the Universal Soldier A set (the figure bodies are sets A and B, the numbers indicate the head choice). The head is an Empress Russian helmet with gas mask.
He is armed with an AK fitted with a metal retractable stock.
His body armour has fixing loops for additional kit, once he has completed some missions and collected some salvage he can add kit.
A Zinge Industries Engineering brick decorates the base. Once the rest of the squad are assembled and painted, I will add some tufts and flock.
Ready to adventure into the Exclusion Zone.
