28mm late war British & Germans Arnhem etc

[Shahbahraz]

Yep, what he said, they look great.

[Ash]

Good news, I'll leave it well alone then. Thanks for that.
Got hold of a copy of this; quite like his slushy snow technique, so once I get hold of the bits I'll give it a go at snow bases on the Brits and Germans.

[Ash]

I reckon they look fantastic.

Thanks very much.

I got hold of the 251 Pioneer halftrack; bonus points it came with two of the infantry packs I didn't have.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice work, it looks chilly.

[Ash]

Here's the figures that came with it.

Pack VG2




VG3  Had a go at a different camo on one, just for the hell of it.

[Ragnar]

Nice additions!

[FreakyFenton]

Nice additions!

+1 They are very cool indeed, no pun intended.

[Ash]

Added snow to all the other bases.

[commissarmoody]

Damn those guys look good. 

[Thargor]

Wow 

[Ash]

Cheers guys; I did the same to the Brits:

[Rick F]

Cracking basing, now they all look thoroughly miserable!

[commissarmoody]

Yep, I feel cold just looking at them. 

[Ash]

Ta very much. I don't know about the little blokes but I've had enough of mixing 'snow paste'.

Wierd thing with those last two packs of Germans (VG2 & VG3), all the snow turned greenish as it dried.
Thought it might be some colour leaching from the static grass, however I used the same home made tufts on all the figures, and the snow on the tufts stayed white so it must have come from the mud (Vallejo 'thick mud').
I put a second coat on once dry, same green again. Painted on some Vallejo Environment acrylic 'snow', sort of white textured paint, then more snow paste. No more green, but by now had fairly thick snow drifts, so carved them off back to the base. Sealed base with varnish added snow paint, then layer of paste; sorted.
Can only think that the 'mud' hadn't cured compleatly and colour came from there; all the other figures were done some time ago so totally dried.

Regardless of snow colour leaching (thanks for heads up) these look bloody fantastic mate.
