I have attempted to base up the Dan section in the same style as mine & have taken photos of them as a separate group as well as mixed in with my existing Commandos. Dan's Commandos are all plastic figures using a variety of manufacturers including PSC, Italeri & Revell- as well as some great greenstuff berets. Enjoy the pictures, & thanks again Dan :)
First, Dan's Commando conversions with my basing:
Now, mixed group shots of Dan's Commandos & the ones I finished a couple of weeks ago:

Could have taken some extra group shots & mixed it up a bit more, but was keen to get these up on the blog. None of these miniatures have had any varnish as yet, eventually I will hit them with some Testors Dullcoat.
I am currently working on some more Battlefield/Blitz Commandos plus some more plastic conversions (head swaps basically).
More posts to come soon, I have pictures of my first section of British Combat Engineers (finally finished); WIP shots of my Blitzkreig Miniatures Staghound A/C; & pictures of my finished squadron of Churchill tanks. Stay tuned.
very nice good to see a nice mix of figs there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gowan. I am all for using a mixture of figures, metal or plastic.
ReplyDeleteCheers Guv :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool, they mix in well, only the webbing is a differant colour, what colour do you use? , and where do you get the flowers from, they are great, really adds that something to the base.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan. Like most of my painting, the webbing involves a few stages: light grey undercoat, base colour Vallejo Russian Uniform, a brown wash (Vallejo or Secret Weapon), Vallejo Green Grey, final highlight Derivan Minis Webbing Green (although Vallejo Pastel Green would probably be just as good). The flowers & tufts are mostly Silflor Minatur stuff- majority are sourced from Antenocitis Workshop website. AW's postage can be a bit steep to Australia, but their prices are so good that it kind of evens itself out IMO.
ReplyDeleteNice work. Dan is very kind. Nice mixture of figures. :)
ReplyDeleteHe sure is T. Thanks for your kind words.
DeleteOutstanding as ever John!
