Some Germen SS and British Para's pic's

[jnr]

Am not the best of painters, but I try and keep clean lines and the odd dry brush. total crap at faces so I leave them, they are a mix of BAM and Artizan.
I did try and fade the camoflage to show age.

Hi,

I really like the camouflage, especially the German. Nice painting and a very good wargames feel about them.  

I usually try too hard on my minis and many a poor guy ended up with racoon eyes  :oops:

Are the mg bases beer mats, and if so don't they warp?

Cheers

Thanks for the commit, I solder all my men with low melting point solder to pennies’ , do same for putting pewter model tanks together and the bigger bases are brass plate, buy them in hobby shop 50mm wide around 300mm in length ,so no bend or curl.
The camouflage I was trying to show most of the different mix and match the germen used, more so from Normandy onwards. It’s not so much hard as time consuming, in real live you would not see the detail till you got up close . So I try and paint them as if I was standing back, seeing the outline but not detail. The helmet’s I mix and match too, from early war colours to late, I have some decals I have yet to put on, but I tend to leave them off  so I got a generic type troop no hard and fast regiments. But I must get the sergeant strips on .
I did try and get the fade on them, but when I have time I may try and weather them, my be some mud on boots and such. Plus am only starting to use Mig pigments and such, I know they have brought out some made up weathering wash ,may give it a try.
And they are for gaming dare say in a few month ill need to retouch them up.

I really like your German Camo. I have been thinking about getting some of the decals as they would save a lot of heartache trying to sgt and cpl stripes

I really like your overall effect. The camo is very nice and looks weathered and well belnded.

Faces are really tricky to paint they are my bug bear too. Patience practice and a good point on the brush.

I've just started trying to use a magnifying glass which is a bit wierd to start with but is quite handy.

yopur mini's are well paint for gaming. and the most important for gaming is overview and not individuals minis. And your army overview is really great
