Hi everybody,

This is my first post on the LAF.

I'm starting a project around the Ardennes '44. Here's my first unit.

Welcome aboard Thib-O.
What a great intro youve given us. But you do realise that you have made a rod for your own back and we now expect more of the same!!

Now you need some dogged and desperate American GIs to counter those young and fresh volk grenadiers.

Great stuff,
Brian

Woah, looking good! Very good indeed. Me and a friend are setting up a Ardennes force as well, and will propably work on it during the winter and spring, a project I am really looking forward to. I tested out some airbrushing yesterday, with whitewash over dunkelgelb, it turned out pretty nice actually. Ambush cammo and white wash mixed vehicles with a group of white/SS-Eichenlaubmuster do look great!

I would love to hear what colours you used for helmets and gear, and a few close ups would be most welcome as well.

By the way, welcome to the LAF and what a way to say hello!

I'm planning to paint my next squad in oak leaf pattern too. Imo it's much more difficult than the pea dot pattern.

Helmets are dark gray, almost black. It's highlighted with a mix of black/bleached bone (very warm gray).
Mittens/gloves and scarf are in catachan green.
Belts and magazine pouches are in mars black.
The coulors for the pea dot camo are : commando kaki, bleached bone and dark brown.

Hope this helps

Great looking start to the collection - both figures and terrain. As others have said, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
