Those are very nice! I really like the one on the irregular shaped base.

That will give the Boche something to think about.
What scale & manufacturer please?
Also may I ask why one on a regular base & one an irregular? (I prefer the irregular myself)

The painting is good but the basing is fantastic.  :-*
Please tell us about the scale and manufactures - I guess Bolt Action 28mm.

IMO, they are not 28mm , may be 20mm
( there are very few 28mm French AT guns avaible , and only a crew in the Crusader Range, and the minis are not Crusader )
beautifull basing indeed  ;)
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Thank you. It is 20mm.
The figures are Blitz miniatures
The 25mm AT gun is ACE
The 47mm AT gun is Lancer’s

The models are for my WWII rule of choice, which is: Battlegroup.
In BG basing is totally unimportant. What is important is that you have nicely painted historic models to play with and have a good time. So, I try to make each model a small vignette, to add some visual pleasure to the experience.

Both guns & both crews are superb, I was just wondering if you were changing from one style to another, or
did the difference mean something, e.g. Regular base = regular crew, irregular base = reservist crew.

Thank you!!
I always do different shaped bases, just for making them look good as vignettes. And also because I play Battlegroup, where basing is unimportant.
But your idea is good! Never thought that way. Clever.
