Here it is. My last post for this forum thread. Here is my complete WWI French army. Thanks Wargames Atlantic for these great models. I look forward to coming back to this project when those...
Here it is, my final five French soldiers! I feel great completing about 80ish soldiers. The sculptor, Thieu Duong, really did a fantastic job on this set. The models took washes really well whi...
@JTam he has some older models from ten years ago. I believe the are from the Foundry. I told him I'd play against him but I didn't want to build a large force with metal. Then WGA prod...
Last squad of ten completed. I now have about 88 soldiers painted up and only a five man squad of infantry left to paint! I can see the light at the end of this hobby tunnel. Until they prod...
Well done on this model! The pieces look like they belong!
Well done for someone being a new painter. I too can't wait to see those Goths!
Back to some Americans helping out the French. This brings me up to two squads of Hellraisers. Pretty happy with how these came out. At this point I only have 15 models left to paint. ...
Beautiful colors! I look forward to watching this unfold. I know you wanted the blue to be darker on your first model but it is a great looking blue. Your shading is well done.
@JTam thanks those are very kind words! I'm lucky that my kids are now old enough that I have regained hobby time, but I know exactly where you are coming from! It's hard being a parent to l...
Got some more paint on the models. This time an eight man trench cleaning team with gas masks and grenades. The only difference was the gas masks, but it really felt like I was painting a dif...
Interesting concept! Look forward to seeing where this goes.
@JTam sure thing! The tank is from Warlord Games so I'm assuming it is 1/57th scale.
More blue to overwhelm my opponent with. This now makes 50 soldiers and two sets of 5 command for the platoon leaders. I figure with so many of them now painted I should take a picture of ever...
This is a cool project and a great use of the spare Tau bits! Look forward to watching this progress!
@JTam my friends want to use the old warhammer historical rule set. I think it is called. "Over the Top?"
Keeping things moving along I painted up some Americans to go alongside my French. I know that they had a darker helmet but I came across one image where one guy used a baby blue helmet so I though...
Is free. Ottomans would be cool to see. I know someone used the German bodies with some 3D printed heads and it looked great. But I don't have a printer, so a box set would be amazing.
Painted up some machine gun teams from another company. And then I saw the renders of the new French machine gun teams! I'm sure I'll buy those too. 😁 Technically I did add a Wargames Atlantic m...
Great terrain piece. I thought it was actual backyard landscaping at first!
@Mike Higgins thanks! I figure if they are going over the top the backpacks would weigh them down. I agree the dark grey sprue can make it hard to see some of the detail at time! I was ...
Finished up some platoon command for the French. I figure the classic hand up was the way to go with the first command section. I try and paint ten models at a time so I had a secon...
Continuing along I've painted up two more squads of ten French soldiers. I am liking how they are coming out so far. Being basic line troops they look a bit "alike" but they two options for th...
@Mike Higgins the only fit issues I had were with some of the arms, but I believe that was me not following the numbers on the sprues! 😁
@Stilton Disco Thank you. I mix a blue and gray together to create the color I wanted. Then I wash them with a very watered down blue wash.
When I saw the renders oh so long ago I knew I was going to be in for a few box sets of French. After much assembling I have painted one of many squads of infantry to battle my friend's Germans.&nb...
