Thanks for your kind words chaps.
Interested to see how you get on - the is a period that I am just 'awakening' to
It is rather undervalued as WWII gaming goes. I have to say I am a big fan of the armour of this period!
How do you do the infantry?
Do you mount them a) directly on the bases or b) do you put 5 on an ice-lolly stick for painting?
Do you paint the main colour and shade with a wash?
Do you choose different / brighter colours than in larger scales?
NOTE
I have been experimenting with 10mm and will include them in my updated painting guides.
I have been mounting 5 on a lolly stick for painting and then painting bright colours and using a dark wash to get the shades.
For the infantry, I attach three-four models to a lolly-stick, prime in black, paint base colours, brown wash, then reapply base colours as a highlight. The colours I have chosen aren't actually brighter than those you'd employ for larger scales, which is something I regret - I think starting with a brighter base makes the models 'pop' more at this scale. Still, I can live with 'em.
