Brilliant army,

Having the Toldi, Csaba and the truck from the kick-starter sitting awaiting painting what you've done is an inispiration.

At some point I'll get round to painting some infantry to go with them, but I'll need to reduce my lead mountain and finish a few projects first.

Well deserved - they are well painted. Congratulations.

Excellent work!

Would you mind sharing your "color recipes" for the Infantry?

[Captain Darling]

Congratulations on the award!

Good looking force you have put together!

Cheers

Excellent work!

Would you mind sharing your "color recipes" for the Infantry?

Uniform color is VMC English Uniform with some midtone Green added, almost similar to Reaper Worn Olive. Kit is mostly VMC Red Leather, with some Territorial Biege for canvas and Reaper Dark Leather for strapping. Helmet color is VMC Brown Violet, "whitewash" done with Reaper Misty Grey/White reverse crippling.

Weapons are Pavement, highlighted with Pewter Grey, extreme highlights in Light Grey, then washed with P3 Armor Wash. Wood is VMC German Brown, with highlights/grain done in Biege. Glass is Admiral Blue, gem effect highlights in Cool Blue, flare in White.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll give it a try on some Old Glory WWI German PoW I have in the lead pile.

Cheers!

Finally got around to finishing up some new Hungarian minis in anticipation of the upcoming World at War tournament this Saturday. First up, is a 12-man squad of Hungarian Border Guards made from Brigade Games' WW1 Austrians. As well as a statue to revive the "Cult of the Hussar", Andras Hadik in Budapest

Very nice, and thanks for sharing your verdigris technique.

Two more Hungarian AFVs for this weekend's early war tournament World at War, Blitzkrieg Miniatures' Skoda T-38 (more colloquially known as the Panzer 38(t)) light tank and Warlord Games' Lancia 1ZM armored car. I tried some new techniques and changes to my old techniques on both these models and they are, I believe, the best I've done to date.

I can't believe no one's commented - these have nice, subtle weathering on them. (BTW, the 1ZM also served with the Germans on anti-partizan duty.)

I can't believe no one's commented

Indeed, the Lancia A/C is particularly nice.

Lovely work on every thing

I painted these troops to represent lorried Hussar (mobile) infantry, using the Rubicon Opel Blitz I had painted up earlier this year for their transport. With the inclusion of the WW1-era Bergmann SMG and MG08/15, these could represent either very early (pre-1940) Hussars during the Slovakian invasion or those of late 1944-45 when pre-war stocks were raided to resupply troops during the Soviet invasion.
