Спецназ--Full Flora Fig and AKM
Flora is one of my favorite camo patterns.
The Russian pattern is a modified version of the earlier Soviet VSR patterns introduced by the Russian Federation in 1998 and it's gorgeous. It is called both 'арбуз' (arbuz, which means watermelon) and 'флора' (flora, which...Who knows.) and its official name is too long for this desc. Saw a lot of use in the second Chechen war. Who knows, maybe that's where this guy's headed off to...
But not really because AKMs are from 1959. Hurrdurr.
Speaking of which, that thing started out on a base of an original Brickarms AK47. My goal was to completely redo the proportions and detail to my own liking, which mean entirely new forward furniture, extended receiver, new stock, entirely new barrel and sights (Which work!) and, you know me, a removable mag.
Unfortunately I extended the receiver a bit too much and its slightly too large now. I'll cast it and fix it. Then sell those. But only once I get a Bricklink up!
Oh and his hat is an '80 Soviet design produced for the USSR's little eh...Field trip there. Not sure it was ever produced in Flora. Who cares. Why are you still reading this
Please enjoy!
