Painted some marks little soldiers

[majorsmith]

Got these from northstar last week and painted them up fairly quickly, based the berglanders around reichwehr generals, one I did as an airforce officer and the other as secret police …. The other 4 generals I just made up their uniforms pretty much although they look kind of austro Hungarian

Surprised you based them.  Wasn’t the point of the range that the figures stood on their own?

[sir_shvantselot]

Still not sure of the whole concept but you have done a truly fantastic job.

Excellent work

I could have left them with no bases but on a felt mat I felt they would topple over still, a nudge of the gaming table etc….

Especially with clumsy idiots like me around!

I think that the gloss finish and minimalist bases go well with the whole toy soldier feeling of the range. Nice work, though like sir_shvantselot I am not sure of the concept.

Thanks guys! May add to these but at the moment I’ve got too many other projects on the go!

Nice work! It's hard not to have them appear as some historical army but with these there's no need to worry about the correct shade of green or red.

I think Imaginations are what these were designed for, 1920s-1930s.  Although from what I've seen posted on Instagram you could do some historical armies.

Very nice painting.

I did wonder about basing, what did you use?

[majorsmith]

I just used some mdf bases 25mm rounds, I think warbases? But 2mm thick not 3mm

That’s why you need a green painted plywood gaming table, chalked in roads and rivers and plasticine hills, a la Messrs Featherstone and Bath.

As a certain LP Hartley once wrote ‘The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there’.

That gave me a nostalgia hit. Though we had hordes of unpainted airfix figures, who struggled to stay upright even on this surface .

I tend to base all my toy soldiers on mdf bases even my old britains…
