Title: German Officers & NCO's for "Operation Sealion"
Post by: Jacksarge on April 30, 2016, 03:16:45 AM

I really like these sculpts, 28mm Wargames Foundry, to me they look like classic German command types ala Airfix & Commando War Comics, lots of fun to paint. These were part of what I'm calling the "Operation Sealion" commission that I just finished - which includes the Fallschirmjagers in my last post.

I am also very fond of these sculpts and you have really made them justice by this excellent paintwork. Thanks for sharing!

Great, but, as a nice touch the generals lapels should be red without the lace.

I like those sculpts too - how do they match with others like WG and Blacktree John?

I couldn't say John, I haven't had the opportunity to paint any Warlord or Blacktree Germans as yet - painted an awful lot of 20mm Germans though  :)
I wonder how they compare with the new Perry DAK for scale etc.,? I assume they sculpted these German officers for Foundry originally?

Lovely work!

And yes they were sculpted by Michael Perry.
