Bolt Action Soviet Infantry painting guide – WIP 1

I'm painting up some of my Soviet army and I searched the internet for some historical reference and such. What I found was that the colours of the uniforms and vehicles had variation too them depending on which factory who made them
This allow some freedom while painting, I'm not over concerned  by painting them historical correct, so long they are painted somewhere close to it, so no bright coloured red soldiers here.

First step after priming the models I paint all the base colours, I'm not over concerned at this point on being neat. It doesn't matter if I have some minor spots with the wrong colour, because I'm going to to go over the whole figure with washes then the base paint again, so those minor misses wont mater now.

So lets go through my base painting of my Soviet Infantry. For my version of the Soviet Vehicles go here, it's a T-34/85 tank but this is how I will painting all my Soviet Vehicles.
