I've been cracking on with those Crusader Miniatures WWII Germans I received from North Star Military Figures a couple of weeks ago and the first thirty are ready for action, just another 30 of these and a similar amount of Soviets and I can crack on with playing some Chain of Command

As usual more words and pictures on Scrivsland

More work on the Fall Blau project sees another 14 Germans join the platoon including a veteran Leutnant and a tripod-mounted MG-34 in support.

As usual, more commentary and pictures on Scrivsland

Terrific! Be careful you don't paint too many Huns though...when are the russkies coming?

Very nice, especially impressive when you see them en mass.

Only 12 Germans left to paint and then it's on to the Ruskies. They are coming on holiday with me next week and I shall start blocking in the base-coats.

It looks the business!

What sepia wash are you using?

They look really good. Classic War Picture Library Germans. Love 'em

Beautiful, you don't seem to see many large formations of well painted feldgrau Germans, everyone seems obsessed with painting camouflage pattern smocks in as many varieties as possible these days. A nicely done force of early war can have just as much visual impact IMO.

Can't wait to see the Russians.

it is the Vallejo one in the 200ml tub:

On to todays update:

Getting back from our road-trip I have cracked on and finished the last fifteen Germans for the Fall Blau project.

A group shot of all 59 figures in the reinforced platoon.

As usual, many more images and more commentary on the blog

OK!

Cool. I have that wash too, but found it to dry in a very very thick blotchy way. Do you dilute it or something?

The new additions look splendid!

Thanks.

I just give the tub a good stir, brush the wash on neat, blow off any excess and then tab the figure on my workbench to disperse any bubbles or pooling.

A fine looking unit indeed.

scrivs · « **Reply #14 on:** October 02, 2016, 06:15:53 PM »

Thank you.

I've finished the first 13 Soviets for my Eastern Front project.

Lovely figures from The Assault Group.

As usual, more pictures and the recipe used on Scrivsland
