Looking good

Thank You.



It's been a while, but I have finished the last five Gripping Beast Poilu on the painting table.

More pictures including some close-ups on Scrivsland

Following on from the earlier Frenchmen.



I have not done any meaningful painting for about ten weeks so when chum James bought me a present on Friday it was just the kick up the arse I needed.



The German Command and Supports in gasmask had been basecoated weeks ago, I did the gun and crew from scratch yesterday.



Many more images on Scrivsland

As well as the French and Germans above, this weekend I also painted a FT-17 that I picked up from 1st Corps at the recent Partizan show. Although it's not suitable for our ongoing Verdun 1916 games I plan to use it in our later war games and it may also do some duty in our Spanish Civil War games.

A lovely model that is easy to assemble and a joy to paint.



It comes with both 37mm gun and Hotchkiss machine-gun options.



More commentary and photos on Scrivsland

Really a stunning collection, Paul.
 

[Metternich]

Wonderful work.  I love how you've given the German field gun a full crew.

[scrivs]

Thanks all.

I've taken a break from painting WWI this week and have been doing SCW and El Cid stuff. Will post up later.

Lovely painting on the FT-17! But somehow the proportions of it just don't look right :-/

I know what you mean, so I ripped the tracks off and have repositioned them.

Coming to the end of the year I have painted the final five French and Germans for this project, a nice round 200 French and Germans now painted this year.

Five Woodbine Design Chasseurs



Five Old Glory German casualties



As usual more images on Scrivsland.

Wonderful thread with some magnificent brushwork.

Very well done indeed!

Lots of very nice figures, and heavier stuff.

I do particularly like the Chasseurs
