Just finished my first four polish para's for a little project. The figures are from Warlord and are quite nice, they are however a little on the small side for 28mm, still look nice enough.
I had wondered about the colour of the beret, I had a google around and struggled to find any decent pictures, in colour, to aid me. Thanks for letting me know though, It should be easy enough to run a light grey over the blue.
Yeah the color is somewhat hard to describe, like light grey with almost a blue tint to it. I found this picture which will probably be more useful than my poor description http://home.tiscali.nl/nijsten/Pictures_Headgear/polish.jpg
Great painting, though historically their berets were some sort of grey color. But these look really nice anyways :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a few of the British Para's and they are pretty small as you say, but they fit in with the rest of the Bolt Action range rather well.

They certainly look the business Mr Smillie. I might need to get my monitor checked as the berets already look grey to me!

ReplyDeleteThanks Anatoli, thats really useful. Should be easy enough to add a bit of a darker hue to the berets.
