Being on this Inter War/WW2 painting spree at the moment I've been sorting out/finding unpainted figures from my last WW2 period. These figures are spread all over the place so...

Found about 40 assorted Germans - these were already undercoated green so I've just used this as a base. Most elements there but a bit short of MG34/42s.

Enough officers for now. The kneeling figure is obviously suffering from the Russian winter as his fingers seem to have gangrene.

1 each mortar and tripod mg, probably should increase these numbers and finish painting the mortar crew. Style generally is very basic - webbing, etc, I've pretty much ignored because when I did start painting them up... I couldn't see any difference on the table!

Only one of these guys so a definite future buy!

Meanwhile, also found some packs of British and Russians - mostly FAA, some Platoon 20, some unidentified. FAA are now based in the US, Platoon 20 are owned by East Riding Miniatures who have declared that they are closing down as of 17/5/21!

I reckon the amount of detail is about right.It's like a style of art painting really, too much and it can look fussy and to be honest, a mess.I have come round to the conclusion less is more......and faster!
ReplyDeleteFaster is certainly true!
DeleteHiya I thought it might be of interest to your readers that Tony from East Riding Miniatures has now retired. However I have taken over Platoon 20 which will be available at East Front Miniatures (https://east-front-miniatures.com/)
ReplyDeleteOnce we’ve gone through all the moulds and checked everything, we will slowly bring the ranges back production starting with World War I.
Take care
