Always liked model German soldiers in the old reversible winter gear.

I blame it on my acquisition and construction of a diorama featuring a Tamiya FlakPanzer IV 'Wirbelwind' and crew, circa 1978... ;)

You had one too, could never get mine to look as good as Francois Verlinden' s though :(

Super work on those figures Al, good looking down and grimy appearance.

Thanks for sharing.

Who makes the figures you've used in the photos?
Title: Re: Panzer Grenadiers 28mm
Post by: alcal on 06 February 2015, 10:25:12 PM: Artizan figures
Cheers AL
Title: Re: Panzer Grenadiers 28mm
Post by: Auspainter on 10 February 2015, 03:54:46 AM: Wow these are awesome!. I'm about to start on a bunch of my own Artizan germans and I'd be over the moon if they turned out anywhere close to yours!. Do you have a rough paint guide for these if it's not too much hassle?
Title: Re: Panzer Grenadiers 28mm
Post by: alcal on 20 February 2015, 08:47:25 AM: Auspainter its not that its too much trouble but more that I have no set paint method , I have used acryllics ,enamels,washes and inks during a paint it and see process. I hardly ever use a colour without mixing it with another, but never write it down either.

Cheers AL

I did them all at once and it took me four weeks (doing something to them every day)

Change that to months and lower the quality significantly and that would be me! :D They're really, really nice.

As I am an avid player of Chain of Command, I would like to know if you're planning an Ardenne's campaign, or several single games.

Ciao,
