U-Boat / Ships Crew Winter Dress
« on: June 01, 2010, 10:12:38 PM »
I have these from Brigade Games
http://www.brigadegames.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BGAHSL&Product_Code=BG-EEP001&Category_Code=BGHMEE
I plan on using them on land and was wondering what colors I should use.
I've only seen bw pictures and most of them looked quite dark.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

if You mean german uniform

the clothes look like U-Boot board-dress (single buttoned), and this would be a medium grey.

on the right (picture from "Das BOOT" removed due to illegal content, but one can folllow the link)
Service dress (double buttoned) would be dark navy blue.
German navy units on land had field dress similar to the army, but it is not the dress Your miniatures have

I didn't mean to use them as infantry but as sailors manning a secret weather station.
If I like how they turn out I might mix some BG Finnish in with them.

Gosh, you know you've been doing this a long time when you recognise where all the pictures came from.   :'(

oh, I've just seen it...
It is a link from a german online newspaper, and it is from a period movie.
I can't edit it, so either we leave it as it is (I thought the depiction was allowed for movies)
or I take it out completly

don't know what to do - if You think it is aproblem, please remove it, I can't report my own post

I can't see the pic due to my office firewall blocking the remoting site with it, but if there's a swastika so better to remove it. I've censored your post. Thanks for your understanding.
