Zona Alfa: The first character

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.
