Basing & painting US Vietnam era micro armor infantry
« on: December 29, 2014, 05:42:54 PM »
     Dear Board Members:

     I planning to start  miniatures project that involves micro-armor infantry in  1/300th scale.  I have not done any painting in at least 25 years and I am wondering if anyone here can give advice painting 1/300th infantry?

     Also on the basing of the infantry, each base will represent a platoon and how infantry figures per base is the general standard.  I am not using any set of rules as a basing guideline and I would like to know how other people have based their infantry?

     I will be using GHQ infantry.

Many years ago I used to play Command Decision which has a basing ratio of one stand equals a platoon. I used 3-4 figures per stand, with 'half stands', smaller command elements and recce patrols etc being represented by 1-2 figures. That's pretty much the standard CD approach but ultimately whatever looks good to you is the real answer and it does depend on your base size.
