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

[Metternich]

Truly effective painting and modeling of the street scene.  I love all the details you put into it.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks very much 

No updates for a little while as I am steadfastly working through the painting of the Germans.  Still at the 'splashing on of the base coat' stage with a few more bits to colour in before I can contemplate shading and highlighting.

Very interesting figures to paint, with - for me anyways - the close-up attention of painting only now really bringing all the little details.

SI  - this is all looking fabulous - can't wait to see it in the flesh...

Thanks  

Still painting the Germans..... I reckon each mini will have taken about 3 times longer than the equivalent British.... Due to the mix of equipment etc I have 26 base coat colours then there's all the piping and helmet numbers, etc, to consider.

Oh dear... All those Germans... It was always going to be a mountain to climb... But you can make it Steve!

I am determined! 

I've got a few other bits to do as well plus the rules and a scenario test.... But the plan says there's time (just).

Some autocorrect shenanigans going on there, methinks!

A wonderful project!   

Those BEF chaps look really excellent.   
Well done, mate!

[Silent Invader]

Many thanks  

Still painting the 82 Germans .... Bulk of the mid-coats now done but that includes the uniform and piping, which are the two real eaters of time. (Though I still have the faces and rank insignia to work up)

[Captain Blood]

Bloody hell 

[Silent Invader]

Bloody hell  

Yes indeed!

Yesterday I took a hobby day and, with breaks, painted for 15 hours, all spent doing mid-coat VMC Grey Green of the uniforms.......  

(EDIT: It's not so clear in the photo but the piping I refer to isn't so much the white to the shoulders but vast quantities of red, to trousers, jacket and soft cap)
