Title: More work on East Front Italians
Post by: cstoesen on August 20, 2012, 04:34:20 AM

Finally did some painting and actually finished some figures this past week.  I finished off my second platoon of CSIR Italians.

More are on my blog as well as some Dark Ages stuff.  Please take a look and let me know if you think I am going in the right direction with my change in direction on my basing.

Thanks Styx.  What about your thoughts on the basing?  Better leaving dirt exposed or just cover the darn thing?

Ah, very good. Rather a forgotten army are the Italians in Russia.

Very nice work on your Italians. There are a couple of good dvd movies for the Italians on the Eastern Front.

Cheers,

Helen

One I can think of is "Attack and Retreat" the other was a series that was shown on SBS to do with the RSI on the Eastern front and then back in their homeland.

Cheers,
