French LMG


Painted up this french LMG team, no thankfully not the Chauchat. These three finish off my french infantry squad from warlord. I have a five man command squad and a mortar team to paint up. However I think I will have a bit of a break from my frenchies and paint something a little bit different next.

And yet more french infantry

Completed another four of my french infantry. Next I'm going to paint the last infantry man and the LMG team to complete the 12 man squad. Then I have the mortar section, and five man command squad to finish of my first group of french infantry.

Klaus

Decided to have a little break from painting up my French Infantry and painted this German General model from Artizan. I have had it undercoated and on the "to do" shelf for a while but wasn't sure about a colour scheme.

Well I had a scoot around on google images and found a nice green/grey WW2 uniform style which I think lends this model a very evil look. He may eventually make it onto the table in a pulp game or maybe at some point in the future I will pick up a squad or two of early war jerrys to accompany this model.

More French Infantry


Painted up another four of my french infantry from Warlord. I like how they look and they didn't take too long to paint so all in all they were a pleasant evenings painting. My only criticism would be that some of the model's (only one or two mind) are a bit flash heavy in awkward to clean places like the face!

Bonjour!

Painted up the first of my Warlord early WW2 French Infantry yesterday. I usually paint in batches of four to eight miniatures but I haven't painted a French uniform before so this was the colour test model. I like how he turned out and the Warlord sculpts are nice and were quite easy to paint.
In other news I spent today in Tring attending a 1 day wargames event organised by Mort from GWP. It was a good crack (even though I got a drubbing) and nice to have a gas about the period and modelling in general.

A few more grunts

Just finished painting my last four Vietnam grunts from TAG. I don't know why but I got a bit bored half way through painting these chaps, still polished them off in short order and I'm now ready to start on my first squad of french infantry from Warlord.

Green Mean Fighting Machine

Painted up another three of the TAG Vietnam figures I had knocking around. I kept up the simple green look. Got another four of these models in the back of the cupboard, so they should keep me busy until my purchase from Warlord arrives.
