As I told in my last post I made a lot of pictures on Saturday. Today I want to show you what I would call "Mid-War" Germans. I like the "Panzergelb" and that´s why I´ve got some kits painted in this colour. But as you can see, the Panzer IV and the Jagdtiger Jagdpanther (OMG I play too much world of tanks...) aren`t finished yet.

Yesterday I made a littel inventory. Two things happend: First, the weather was fine and second: I got time..... My Family was busy and I got one of these precious saturday mornings, when no one wants you somthing to do.

So I put out my Minis, made a lot of pictures and have an Idea what is missing in my forces. Today some pictures of my early war germans....

More will follow!

After a busy Week in Berlin I was able to go on with this Panzer IV. After primecoating with Tamiya dark sand I painted it with Vallejo "Middlestone". Then the tracks and wheels were painted. Last part so far is the camo pattern. As you can see in the last picture, I want do it like the painting of the Panther.
The tracks will get a load of "mud" because the details are "horrible". But you know that if you ever bought an Armourfast - Kit ;-)







I know that the camo isn`t historically correct, but nevertheless I like it....

I know that you know that I know that this Crew doesn`t fit to the Gun ;-)

But nevertheless I put them togehther, because I´ve got no british gun crew at the moment and I finished this Gun yesterday.And a picture without Crew is so empty. I also reworked the PaK Crew and would call them "finished", too.

Inspired by a tutorial by Wiking (Wiking Paintworks) in the Behind-Omaha Forum I tried to paint these figures with a "Splintertarnung". My problem was I needed a very fine brush wich I hadn`t at home. But I tried it nevertheless. The result is o.k. for me, but the "Rain-Stripes" are too big. That was the best I could do. Next time I will try a toothpick for finer lines.




And welcome to CPBelt & jacksarge! Nice to have you here!

EDIT: I don´t know how to change the colours of the links in the text. But if you`re íntersted please klick at "tutorial" and Wiking Paintworks in the text above!

After weeks of missing my favorite hobby I managed to go on with these figures. They´re nearly finished. A drop of ogryn flesh is missing on one figure and because they´re to glossy they need a layer of matt varnish. I also finished two U.S. Infantrymen. And I hope to complete the painting of a Sherman tonight.





It feels good to be back in buisness ;-)

I need another Anti-Tank-Gun for my Behind Omaha-Forces. So I started another set of these Figures from Italeri. They will get a camouflage scheme, but I´m still not sure wich one I will try. I wish you a nice weekend, my friends!

As promised today some pictures of the Panzer IV G from ARmourfast. Please look at the pictures and make your own decision if it`s worth a buy. I think it has some pro`s and con`s. The detals are not as good as expected but it`s nice to get the chance to build it with open hatch.

I promised a group shot of my last painted germans. Here they are. Unfortunately the light was not the best for taking pictures. Yesterday evening I repainted the bases and today they will go on their journey, together with the Caesar British Infantry.

A nice weekend!

And welcome to m0e and sada!

I remeber how lucky Paul (Plasticwarrior) was when he got his hands on an old Matchbox Set. I ´m as lucky as he was because I got my hands on two old hardplastic sets from Revell/Esci. The D.A.K. Figures were top on my "wish list".







And the best... I got two of them :-)

O.k. nothing spectacular today. Just the seated Germans I also finished last weekend.
