28mm WW2 German Camo

 

So after our Pacific Game debut at Carronade there is now a lack of shows.  So I thought.... its been ages since I painted some German Camo figures - so after a perusal of the internet I decided on some metal Artisan figures..I decided to make them metal..rather than plastic. 

So I then cleaned them up and washed the figures. I think Artisan do some nice sculpts. But I am not sure I will keep the bases as I really like a clear base. But the size and poses are great.

So after a quick undercoat of white - I wanted to try out a couple of new paint sets.

The AK figure series - Oak leaf, palm and plane tree summer and winter boxes. I wasn't sure about these at first as the effect is a little darker than I expected.

So this is my first few test figures...I even brightened up some of the dots.

I have tried to photograph them at a table viewing distance....

as I really wanted the camo to stand out and be recognisable (at a distance). 

Yeah strangely I wanted the camo to stand out! LOL - well at least be recognisable.

I wanted a mix of summer and winter oak leaf pattern with pea dot pattern or grey/green trouser. With some oak leaf trousers maybe (I know oak leaf trousers are rare). 

so this is it so far..on clear bases.  

I will post the rest as they are done

I got some more finished...taking the metal base of is time consuming and numbs the fingers! But I do like the clear bases. Its a balance of scale on a 28mm figure to get the right look on the table - you need to be able to see the camo to recognise it.
