Great War Miniatures and Brigade Models Great War
« on: August 06, 2012, 08:49:34 PM »
Hello folks,

Decided to go for with a project for the the 100th anniversary of the commencement of the Great War. Thanks to Phil Robinson and David for their input into the project.

I'm going to field both 1914 Germans approx Divisional size plus a Belgian Brigade. Both sides will have artillery, cavalry an a armoured car for the Belgians.

So I'm not rushing just trying to capture the right colours that I'm happy with for the uniforms.

A project that is not taxing as one base represents a company.



Best wishes,
Helen

Thank you AirCav. I just realised before and now fixed that the shakos numerals should have been painted green.

I just had a blonde moment when painting.

Cheers,

Helen

No problem with that Helen they were red the same as the line infantry until both were changed to green after the first few weeks, I believe.

Thanks Phil for your reply on this. I posted on TMP to Dave of GWM considering a higher Hq pack for the Belgians, Hq pack for the early Germans an a engineer/pioneer pack for the early war Germans.

Cheers,

Helen
