MatthewUSA Posted June 24, 2008 I am confused at what you are saying here. Are the minifigs you're talking about from the Indy sets? If so, I had a comment for this. I was surprised that the Soviet minifigs for the Indy sets didn't have red stars on their hats. I understand why the Nazi minifigs didn't have the swasticas, but the Soviet minifigs. I do not understand that. I guess you could use them as military soldiers for your layout, especially since they do not have specific markings. You could create your own decal and place them either on the minifig's hat or back. This is what I may end up doing with the minifigs I have. I hope this may give you an idea. Model On!!

Oky Posted June 25, 2008 Use them to enter the Indiana Jones Movie Contest! Invent a nice Indy story involving Soviets and create a little scene with your figs! I would look forward to your entry! Also, it would be great if you could come up with a funny comic that your Soviet figs could star in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, it may be because of the fact that the Soviest have disbanded, and it would be rude to show it again. But they do have the gold stars, even though they should be red. I don't know. You could stick an American decal on the front. I made an American on Lego Indy with the German green shirt, and it looked just right. So basically combine a green german with the Soviet.

Stony Posted June 29, 2008 Get some decals and turn them into M*A*S*H characters seeing as they're sandgreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't have stars on thier hats, but they have stars on thier belts, so it still designates them as Soviets. And speaking of the subject look at my name lol. (NO I'm not Russian, I just liked the Russian tanks) Edited July 1, 2008 by sovietapc7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lanker Posted July 1, 2008 Hey i just got some Russians from the new Soviets and i don't know what to do with them.Any ideas are great I am doing a little project; which I call "LEGO At War: Classic Combat" and involves the Indy Jones theme. The Germans form the Orange Army and the Soviets form the Purple Army and then they are supposed to wage war against each other. Small arms consists of BrickArms' arsenal (long live BrickArms! www.brickarms.com) The strange thing with this project is that it is only in my mind (I do not own one single Indy Jones set! ) and it is free to take my ideas as long as you take some photos so I can see the result Orange Army Units MC (from Motorcycle Chase): 1 "guard" MC with side car (from Motorcycle Chase): 2 guards with Mk 48 Jeep (from Race for the Stolen Treasure): 2-3 guards with Mk 48 and RPG Truck(from Race for the Stolen Treasure): 5 guards Check Point (from Motorcycle Chase): 2 guards Small arms C96 SW500 MP40 M47 Mk48 PSG-1 RPG M24 Maybe a modified G36 without the grip with integrated sight. Purple Army Units Jeep (from Peril in Peru): 1-2 guards Small Tracked Vehicle (from Temple of the Crystal Skull): 1 guard Amphibious Vehicle (from River Chase): 2 guards with Mk 48 Tank or APC (modified Jungle Cutter) 2-6 guards Riverine Patrol Boat (from River Chase): 1 guard with Mk 48 Sniper's Nest (from River Chase): 1 guard with PSG-1 Small arms M1911 AK47 Mk48 PSG-1 RPG M67 Headgear for the soldiers include the cap the guards wear, the CITY officer cap and the CITY prisoner knit/cap in matching colour, the Indy Jones MC helmet. Some more vehicles such as the Flying Wing, a light helicopter and a howitzer would fit well into the plan. A base or camp would also be good including the Indy Jones tent and a bunker. The German truck could have differnt "modules" on the truck bed like command vehicle (box with computers/radioes inside and antennas on top), engineer (crane), ambulance (red cross marking and a stretcher inside). If come up with more ideas I will post them here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
