Japanese for Bolt Action WIP (Finished)
« on: 28 October 2014, 12:35:23 AM »
Hello and greetings from West Texas

This is my first post (here or any where).  So I thought I would start with a couple of WIP photos of my new Japanese unit.

All from Warlords, various Vallejo Paints

Hopefully finish them up soon.

Cheers

Welcome.

Nice work on the figures. Are you using golf tees to hold the figures?

Thank you all

Fred - yes I hot glue them to golf tees

Olyreed - I tried several different colors (Vallejo). Started with Japanese uniform (923), but thought it was too yellow. Then tried Japanese Tank Crew (panzer color 328), from a WSS magazine article. Thought it was too green. Finally settled on mixing the two - with more of Japanese Uniform in the mix. So with several shades, it looks like different quality uniforms, which works for me.

Finished up in late November, but lacked time to shoot and post.

Pine tree swigs, silflor grass clumps, noch leaves (on crew served weapons), chamomile tea and dried parsley.

Still working on photography, but hope you enjoy.

Very good job! Wish I could see them in a more detailed way, but I really like the whole package as far as I can see. Thumbs up!
