WW2 20mm Painted Greatcoat German Squad.
I have added a 4th squad to my early war German platoon and I feel these guys are wearing more appropriate clothing for the south coast of England (definitely for the Soviet Union), models are from CP models and are lovely except some of them come in pieces and with my hand shovels this caused some light swearing for a little while!

I didn't know any of these came in pieces. I would need help with that and I've small hands. These are nice. Love the coats and the finish on them makes them shiny. Have a Happy Christmas Angry. I'll see you guys again next week.
ReplyDeleteNice looking unit!
ReplyDeletethey look quite cartoonish ;D ( i'm back btw )
ReplyDeleteAnother great looking group of figs! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jason
I really like these guys. Very nice painting too Fran.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! But the one in the fouth picture middle looks like an old lady waiting for the bus! (I guess thats why they lost WW2)
ReplyDeleteReally very nice and great coats are always cool!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
And again a fantastic work. I can simply say nothing else! Respect!
ReplyDeleteNice ones Fran!
ReplyDeletePainting without swearing is like dinner without beer...tasteless! :)
What colour did you use for the greatcoats?
T.
A well turned out squad. Nicely painted with a natural gait.
ReplyDeleteSuper work Fran
Nice paint work Angry, colours are good
ReplyDeleteVery nice figs, i like them a lot
ReplyDeleteThanos: Vallejo Fieldgrey.
ReplyDeleteThe one in the middle of the last picture looks badass. Like he really doesn't care he's in a war.
ReplyDeleteNicely done Fran, you certainly dig out some very splendid miniatures.
ReplyDeleteIs Hogan's Heroes Corporal Schultz among them? ;) Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran! :)
ReplyDeleteT.
Another great looking set of minis, Fran. I wish I could paint like that. I can't wait to see pics of the table when you start playing Operation Sealion. I imagine it will be stunning.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of my childhood, i used to play with toy soldiers, tanks and helicopters and have always enjoyed creating my own imaginative war with them. however, since moved i had no idea where those guys are now.
ReplyDeleteAgain some nice figures, did these get under the wire for the Comp?
ReplyDeleteian
More beautifully painted figures, Fran.
ReplyDeleteA bit of light swearing you say? I can just imagine you saying, "oh drat!" or "botheration!" or "flipping heck, that hasn't gone to plan!" Heh, heh, yeah, perhaps in Bizarroworld!
Ian: I'm afraid not....working on 80+ points at the moment though.
ReplyDeleteThey look great mate
ReplyDeletelooking good as always
ReplyDeleteYep, if I go to England I would have to wear similar clothes to avoid freezing to death. Great work again Angry.
ReplyDeletesome of their faces look a bit drunk LOL :) We're they drinking schnaps?
ReplyDeleteGermans always have the most stylish coats! lol.
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff you got there mister :) Germans and Brits looks very nice. Me like it :)
ReplyDeleteCheers
He very nice looking figs Fran. I had a bit of this 'light' swearing with some Darkson Design figs lately.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff
Very nice. IMO this group of figures may be the best example of your painting skill. Thanks for the look-see.
ReplyDeletelol is that tree made out of weed, thats what i thought it was at first glance. as for ze zermans, they looks excellent.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how despicable the Nazis were, you gotta admit they were the best dressed modern army in history.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Fran, they're great loooking figs!!
ReplyDeleteReally well painted figures Fran!
ReplyDeleteGreetings

The middle guy in the third picture down looks a little tipsy. Or maybe he's not. It's hard to tell for sure.
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting! I'm stunned by this masterwork!
ReplyDeleteNice painting, keep up the great work
ReplyDeleteCracking paintjob grommit. I like the poses..very natural, hands in pockets, arms folded..
ReplyDeleteCheers

I swear, my mind just gets blown every time I look at pictures of your work. What a talent you have!!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I really like the fellow with his arms crossed over his chest as the sculpt really conveys him being bloody cold. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI assume these guys outside of the Challenge?
Curt: I'm afraid so.......
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty cool and neat blog definitely following :)
ReplyDeleteWhat kinda camera do you have? Those images look very clear.
ReplyDeleteNice figures. (:
ReplyDeleteDoes quantity and quality both count for the competition?
ReplyDeleteThey look epic!
Love the buttons on the flowing coats.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! It's like old-fashioned GI-Joe plastic figurines but for adults.
ReplyDeletejust standing there, like a boss!
ReplyDeletegreat figures...
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I have a plastic set here of American and German both in greatcoats from Revell for the Battle of the Bulge that would mostly fit in, some have the later war weapons of course. It's that Bulge time of year right now. On the evells only the MGs need any assembly.
ReplyDeleteSome have hoods instead of helmets. The winter is making me wonder about British winter and what would be good for Norwegians of 1940. Thought there was an old Lassie movie set there, I notice they don't show those like they used to do.
These guys look great!
ReplyDeleteyeah those do look excellent!
ReplyDeleteThe Internet: Bog standard Fuji.....
