1914 Belgium - UD 18/12 - news re German infantry paint scheme

[Constable Bertrand]

Ah, that's a Silent Invader build we've come to know and love. Nice green paint, and Steve I really like how you've placed fallen beams around the board. It looks very convincing.

Cheers
Matt.

Splendid! Now get some paint on that so we can drool some more 

[Slayer]

yet more pure sexiness ( the builds )

[Silent Invader]

Not sure if there even were Belgian irregulars fighting, it was more of a German thought originating from the Franco-Prussian war. There were civil guards "burgerwacht" if I recall correctly but they were to maintain order and were disbanded quickly. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Thanks for that. 

I think that now that I have a Minerva coming I will stick with that for my Belgian contingent.

[Silent Invader]

Progress to report (with the usual caveat that photos are by iphone posted from iphone etc)

The scatter terrain of horse, barricades and cart have been painted:





Example of barricades in situ:





And the horse:



The Minerva has arrived, which I'm pleased with.  There's a review here:

Can't disagree with anything written.  I have only 4 wheels as well, so I need to look into that. The minis are the same height as the Mutton Chop. The heads are noticeably bigger and I just might swap out the faces for more consistency.



The two tiles together, now ready for full undercoating then painting:



The church front entrance:



Inside the church:




Inside the crypt (still wip):

Nice progress, Steve.
This is already promising to be a seriously good board, up to the usual high standards that you set yourself.
 

That poor nag, though.....

[Phil Robinson]

All coming together nicely, it is going to look all rather dandy when complete.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks very much Chaps 

That poor nag, though.....

My wife doesn't like it: apparently it is "sad" 

[pocoloco]

Ooh, very nice! 

Can't wait to see what you treat us with as the third tile 

[OSHIROmodels]

That's really coming on a treat mate 

I also rather like the cartoon style of colours and shading used on the barricades 

cheers

That's how I paint everything....... With ageing eyes comes the need for colours to be differentiated.

Can't wait to see what you treat us with as the third tile 

 

I can tell you that it will be the less ostentatious part of town: wrecked small houses, a workshop, etc.

Excellent, worth the wait, I'm sure 

[Captain Blood]

Fandabadozi!
And those barricades will be useful for all sorts of things
