Based on the protestors in Ukraine.

It was a challenge to make civilians and to not want to create load outs and add weapons. Just a Billy club, civilian looking helmet and a backpack basically.

I've featured these three but there are 2 others that you can see unloading the truck of tires.

I'm in the middle of creating a protest dio with these.

I did my best to create a line of protestors out of other figs I could pose so the military aspect isn't so noticeable.

In the background of these photos you'll be able to see the line of riot police/military on the other side of the fire line I'm building.

















For fire I'm going real. Use some t lights places across the line and I may add some TP just before snapping to get some smoke.

I figure 4 or 5 t Lights and red tissue paper in front of a dimmed light bulb and I might have it.

I don't want to use Photo shop if possible but adding some smoke in the foreground might be the ticket.

Any other ideas fellow fighters?

I wouldn't be so hesitant to militarize them. There were clearly anti-government protestors in camo or with military ( and granted, old) helmets.

great civilians. great work.

you can make some guys with ret or roc storm shadow legs. that way you can have some with tennis shoes. another great figure for ukraine riots is ret. airborne ski mask head. and many others!!!

and for a realistic touch you have marauder tools and barrels!!!!:) and off course one Big Boa to represent Vitaly Klitschko

Unimax & 21st Century WWII convert nicely for those with old military uni's.

With winter being a tight time of year financially I have been trying to use up all my fodder or old retired customs.

Dude you are killing this theme! I love it, very topical.

Only criticism is I feel the sets and contrast still look a bit too Middle eastern, again, maybe a grey or blue wash over them could make hem more eastern European.

Love it though man :)

I tried to figure that out. I failed.

I have started on a new foam building to look more like Europe or old town America. Long overdue trust me

I think it's all in the lighting. Maybe use a tungsten white balance?
