1914 Belgium - UD 18/12 - news re German infantry paint scheme

[Silent Invader]

I am very excited to see how the Tsuba plastics turn out.
Might lead me to start another never finished project of massed 28mm battalion actions. 

Hmmmm the more I think about it 25 vs 75 does seem more right

I am a bad influence

Thanks for the map SI, looks like we are in for another treat

[Silent Invader]

OI now have 24 BEF and will soon have 72 Germans (maybe the postie will deliver today   * ), which leaves me with Belgians to find, both infantry and refugees.

I've been looking at the Belgians by Brigade and am very interested but does anyone know how they compare to Mutton Chop?

Thanks

EDIT
*and they arrived - rather splendid they are too!

I have a few of the brigade belgians but no mutton chop.
I can say that proportion wise, they are close to woodbine and empress, if that is of any help - but we know that compatibilty is a matter of taste.
anyway, the head match exactly woodbine ww1, because they will get soon replaced 

I could try to take pictures  if You don't find anything better

[Silent Invader]

Thanks former user, I think that helps just enough to swing me the way of a test order.

here they are, posing as frenchies

[Silent Invader]

Ta very much 

[former user]

of paramount importance in this case is a very thorough degreasing before You coat them
You are aware of the ebor belgians I guess?

[Silent Invader]

Hmmm.  No didn't know about the Ebor so thanks very much for the tip.

former user - what needs degreasing, the Brigade Models' Belgians? Just warm soapy water?

I ask as I have them but haven't painted them yet.

[Helen]

Brigade Models Belgians are very nice and should by all accounts work well with others. Don't forget Battle Honours do a small range of WW1 Belgians too. The artillery piece is incorrect but the crew are fine.

It's lovely to see the Belgians receiving some attention.

All the best,

Helen

Hi Helen.  Thanks for that.  Unfortunately my google foo has become google goo as I cannot find a current outlet for the BH Belgians. Ideas anyone? 

[Plynkes]

Old Glory 15s sell them.

If anybody our side of the pond does, I'm not aware of it.

Thanks Dylan, I believe Ebor miniatures now have the BH WW1 range. Old Glory15s still sells them in the US.

All the best,
