I wasn't sure of the colour for the greatcoats so went with a mix of vallejo chocolate and khaki.

Quick google search has left me with varying colours for them. Mainly shades of green and brown, so I suppose your idea was spot on.

I drybrushed them with some khaki, and then gave them a wash with some fieldgrey, which just about disappeared once dry. At least they are a differnt tone to the trousers.

Here's the other new pack LB9, and as per usual I missed something, the sniper's scope needs some clear smoke/grey on the lens...

Very nice Ash.

Bagpiper is my favourite of the bunch! The others are also superb though!

Lovey figs and great paint job.

Thanks guys. I switched cameras and after a fair amount of faffing around got the white balance for these pretty close, which makes me realise how 'warm' the other finished shots look, so may do some re-shoot group shots...

Looking forward to a group shot. Are you contemplating adding some Armor and or transports for these guys in the future?

@ commissarmoody: I think if I go down the tanks route it could all escalate badly (for my wallet)! That said I'd get a Kangaroo APC

Here's the next group; 'Ruperts'.

Cracking stuff Ash! The Scottish officer is a stunning casting. Will be picking up this pack at Reading

I've already got a Kangaroo and a Weasel and am thinking of getting a Rubicon Buffalo also ...

Damn they look Great!
And yes a kangaroo or two would help. Modern war means that infantry to get dry their feet off every once in awhile.

@ Eclaireur: Cheers, having a lot of fun with these. That chap in the duffel coat and the tam o'shanter is definitly a favorite; technically they are all 'Scots'; 4th Battalion KOSB, 52nd Lowland Div, as per Peter White's superb book 'With The Scots'.

@ commissarmoody: I may get the Germans a halftrack, or two...

Those lads are brilliant!

Cheers marrony, much appreciated.

Also dug this bloke out of the bits box. Was a freebie at Salute a few years back.

I suspect that the officer’s coat is actually a private purchase or Royal Navy duffle coat. These were popular with officers in winter. I still have my grandfather’s one. The British Army greatcoat lacked a hood. If you can make ‘em out on the figure there should be little horn toggles to fasten it (easier than buttons when wearing gloves).

Duffle coats were a rather warm sandy or fawn colour.
