Hello there.
I am not really sure why I am showing you these, with all the amazing "normally" painted miniatures in this forum, but I find that although they are dipped, the results are quite alright. These are the first section of my commandos for our Secrets of the Third Reich-Bellum Europa games. I am still missing my Commando but since we are playing 2 vs. 2, together with the Sherman they should be enough points. The Tank is a Corgi and 1:50. A bit bigger, but what the hey.
They have been dipped, so I can start playing asap and because I have been criticized (and they are right) that my painting takes forever and I always have to borrow painted miniatures for our games.
These guys where painted in batches of 2s and 4s and 4 of them took about 2 hours. I am using the strong tone dip and Rustin's Varnish to take away the shine. The next section with helmets will be painted the "normal" way. Now I got time.
The bases will be changed a bit tho. Not really happy with these. I went for a muddy look, but somehow I am missing structure.
The hedgehogs, sandbags and barbed wire are scratchbuilt.
The guy with the Bren is my favourite. The sculpt has an amazingly bad-ass look.
Anyway... thank you for reading.
