more inspiring work out of you! Don't feel bad at all about being stalled...as you are doing a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So long did it take you to do the putty on all these coats? Also, are you going to do the pants?

Yeah, it's taking a while, I just keep adding little bits and going from figure to figure, I'm saving a little time with the pants by not doing to many quilted, but making them a little thinker where needed.

Hi guys

I have grown my force to include a Pak 40 and RSO, and an assault engineer squad, (I don't think I will make up the SP Pak 40 for this force) apart from a couple of pieces of armour I think this will be the full size, moving forward I will be concentrating on completing and blogging about elements within this group, so no more group photos until its complete.
I have been adding equipment to those that needed it, and started the basing process, I bought another Italeri tropical FJ box and swapped out all the ESCI FJ heads I had used, much better and more consistent now, I'm pretty happy with how they are progressing, all comments welcome.

Hi Guys

Finally got around to undercoating most of this CoC platoon plus sized force (still have some heavy weapons teams and vehicles to go) will start painting these today, to see the unpainted conversions check this link https://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com/search/label/1%2F72%20Fallschirmjagers

That's great stuff, unique figures, but seriously insane. Will be keeping an eye on this one, and looking forward to seeing painted examples.

Hi guys

These troops are about 60% done, have cammo to do on some parts, and a lot of highlights on clothes, flesh and weapons, then basing, I may finish them off in sections from here. Have started sorting out the figures and done all the head swaps for a new Gebirgsjager, need to order some green stuff before I can start on them properly, will try to pick up a box of Hat 75mm Skoda mountain guns next weekend for support for the mountain troops.
