Helen:
Hi Folks,

I've added this new topic here for folks who are keen in painting their WW1 figures/equipment with some sort of uniform guide bases on artists or militaria collections.

It's not a complete list and if you have a link that would be assisting then can you please add yours.

Thankyou  8)

Hi, Helen,

You've hit the main ones that I use.  I've also found these ones to be quite helpful:

http://www.diggerhistory.info/

Although sometimes you need to dig a bit to find the particular bit of information you need!

For the colour photos, it's important to note that the colours might not be true.  Photos were often hand tinted, and photos from 90+ years ago may have faded, plus computer colour monitors can introduce distortions of their own!  Nevertheless, they are a good start and I'm as happy using them as any other source.

The "different light" website has some neat stories on it as well - a good source to mine for inspiration for scenarios!

One more - less authentic, but based on considerable research:

A good one for the French:

For bigger versions of the plates click under each pick where it says: La planche en grande taille, cliquez ici !!!

Some more plates can be found by rooting around on the sidebar to the right.

That German Colonial uniforms page is a must-have for Afrika gamers. I have had it bookmarked for years, Björn. Without it my Schutztruppe NCO fellow would have had a boring old tan-coloured slouch hat. Now he has a natty grey one with white piping. Much better for turning the heads of the young ladies of Dar Es Salaam.

I thought everybody knew about it. Great idea for a sticky, Helen. Now everyone will know about it.
