There may be no written orders but you wrote it in your war diary above!

How much more of an admission of guilt do you need?  ;D
All the best!

Talking of war crimes, I have tried out my test scheme for my Summer SS.

As usual, I have tried to keep it muted…..and the camo scale down which naturally darkens them.   This is my attempt at the two main camos that I will be using.  All three have been painted the same in this instance but future chaps will get a little variation…..mixing in an autumn pattern pea dot etc…


So the smocks and helmet covers are my simple (as in, if I have to paint more than a couple of dozen, I won’t end up a nervous wreck!) take on “blurred edge” M1942 and a pea dot M44 on the trousers.  I’m happy enough with them anyway.





Just a matter of doing another 50 troops now!  :'(

It would be nice to see some larger shots, to be honest, it's just blurred in these pictures.

That’s the effect of the camo! Lol

Honestly, any bigger and the painting is really bad!  :?

Unfortunately, at this distance, it's so blurred you can't even get an overall impression other than a muted blue grey colour. We've seen your painting, it's quite good enough to withstand a close up.

Agree with all the above, they do look good. I was hoping for closeups so we could get an idea of colour selection, pattern and technique, as it always helps to learn from others.

If you REALLY want it, I tend to make my own reference notes and selections for each scheme.  Drop me a line if you do.

And thanks guys.
