More Krauts finished / Mehr Wehrmacht (2)

Finally I got the next wave of Wehrmacht-soldiers finished. I varnished them yesterday evening and put static grass and some sand onto the bases this afernoon.
Again I'm rather satisfied but after a closer look on the pictures the collars and the epaulettes look too empty. I might try to put a bit more work on them when I start the next squad. But now some older minis of British Infantry wait to be re-based. I might need them for playing in two weeks...

For the pictures I improved the lightening and I' m rather satisfied with the result. Nonetheless I'll buy a second lamp soon...

A soldier with Panzerfaust, the Unteroffizier with MP-40 and a Rifleman.

The MG-34 team marching...

And another MG-34 team firing. Looking at the pictures I realized that I forgot to paint the cartridge belt...

Krauts finished / Wehrmacht fertig (1)

Endlich habe ich es geschafft, meine ersten Wehrmachtssoldaten zu bemalen!

Die Figuren stammen von Britannia Miniatures aus der Reihe "WW II - Wehrmacht (classic)" und sollen Wehrmachtstruppen zu Beginn des Krieges bzw. für das "Unternehmen Barbarossa" darstellen.

Bemalt habe ich die Figuren mit Farben von Vallejo (Uniformteile) und Citadel (Haut, Base, Wash).

Anschließend habe ich sie mattem Sprühlack aus dem Baumarkt versiegelt.

Die farbliche Kante des Bases (hier schwarz) dient der besseren Unterscheidbarkeit der Gruppen auf dem Spielfeld.
Weitere acht Mann habe ich so gut wie fertig, da folgen in den nächsten Tagen Bilder.

Leider sind die Bilder nicht alle so toll geworden. Ich experimentiere da noch... Vor allem brauche ich wohl mehr Licht.

Finally I finished my first Krauts !

The miniatures are made Britannia Miniatures and belong to their "WW II - Wehrmacht (classic)" range. They present troops for early war and Operation Barbarossa".

I painted the miniatures with Vallejo (uniform, equipment) and Citadel (flesh, base, ink) paints and sealed them with matt varnish spray from our local hardware store.

Another eight men are nearly finished. I'll post pictures of them soon.

I use to paint the edges of the bases in different colours (here: black). That makes it much easier to distinguish the different squad on the battlefield.

Unfortunately not all of the picture are good. I'm testing it out... Anyway I need more light...
