Well it never rains but it pours! Just when you think you'll get one thing done you have a little spurt and get a couple done instead. First off we have a collection of German WW1 troops in 28mm. Sorry no idea what the manufacture is as I have painted these for a friend. I am a big fan of the faces though the sculpting is very straight forward and crisp. It has those not too try hard look. These may have come out a little too blue, but early war German Uniforms as witness on the Renegade Miniatures web site, or even on the box of Airfix soldiers is closer to that than the grey green later in the conflict.
I have also managed to sort out a limber for my SCW forces. So this is another 10mm figure. It did come as part of the 10mm Colonial troops I bought on eBay. But as I only had 1 set of riders for 3 limbers and a wagon it just made sense to use them for the SCW. I will no doubt get more limber riders for the colonial stuff in the near future, but for now this can be a Spanish Civil War limber. Which is not to say that I have an abundance of towed artillery. Well that's it for today. I intend to do my next update on Tuesday. So until then take care and get some painting done. All the best Clint
Nice work on these, the guys in helmets might be Foundry - their poses look similar to some Foundry Jaeger I have. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean, they may well be Foundry. They just don't feel like Foundry to me though. But could be!
DeleteNice paint job on them!
ReplyDeleteI like the browns you used on the greatcoat. Looks like real leather. The faces turned out well too.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the 10mm as well.
Cheers Anne.
DeleteThank you Loki
ReplyDeleteThe Germans look great Clint :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Very much I was colour matching them to an existing figure
DeleteNice work there Clint and I like the colour being a bit bright.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter. I am sure you would be using them in a VBCW game. And why not.
DeleteNow that really is a fixed bag, but all the more entering for it. Great job Clint.
ReplyDeleteI of course meant 'mixed' bag.
DeleteThank you Michael. I hope to start my last batch of SCW figures tomorrow.
DeleteThe german blue, came in a lot of shades early in the war iirc, yours are very acceptable, the officer in the greatcoat looks excellent.
ReplyDeleteLimber for your SCW is a good find, you must be very pleased with it.
May have been a mixed bag this week, but every little helps
Thanks Joe your words are very pleasing to hear. I believe some early German uniforms were of Corduroy as well for even greater variety!
DeleteYeah the SCW limber is a pleasant find as it allows me to move another gum on the table top.
Excellent work on the Germans mate. Nice to see more of your work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Carl. Looking forward to seeing your Fatties you got from Salute.
DeleteNice work Clint!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. The Germans are for Matt by the way!
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteThe Germans might be a bit off, indeed, but I really like the contrast on the uniforms.
Thank you Mathyoo. They do stand out on the table top a little.
DeleteLovely job Clint I was looking at some of the Renegade ww2 Late War German's the other day but couldn't make my mind up are they biggish sculpts?
ReplyDeleteCheers Mate. Have a look at Musketeer miniatures for ww1 28mms You might find them more to your liking. Or Great war Miniatures which are my favourites. Woodbine Miniatures are also highly recommended.
