First Sorry for the long wait but there is finally an update for this blog. I had some trouble at work that had to be solved first. Next I like to welcome all new followers of this blog.
What we have is a painted Fusiliers-Voltigeurs Platoon (Colonial) for my France Early War Escadron de Reconnaissance army. Just like the Fusiliers Machine-gun Platoon this platoon is not from Battlefront but from Forced in Battle.
The colors I used are all Vallejo.
Uniform and great coat: Green Brown (879)
Helmet: Olive Green (888)
Pack: German Camo Orange Ochre (824)
Blanket: Flat Earth (983)
Boots: Chocalate Brown (872)
Webbing, Canteen: German Camo Beige (821)
Gun stocks: Beige Brown (875)
Gun metal and tin-can on back: first German Grey (995) then drybrushed with Gunmetal (863)
When all the basecoats where done they all did get a wash of Game Color smoke with a few drops of the basecoat color added to this wash thinned down with water. After that a little drybrush is done using the basecoat color.
Base: Is painted using US Field Drap (873). Then after this has dried I used a mixture of GaleForce nine Spring Undergrowth (GFS010) + some cheap flock Fibres Medium Green, to flock my base. Also some real small pebbles are added. All this together gave a sort of rough terrain look.
With this platoon painted I now have 2 completed platoons.
Thanks for looking.

Ziet er goed uit, AV! Kleuren vd bases zijn ook mooi (geen broccoli ;-) )
ReplyDeleteNo Broccoli. :-)
ReplyDeleteI even changed the bases of the Machine gun platoon. The "broccoli"is removed and more pebbles are added. The base now are more in-line with the bases of the Infantry platoon. Placed new pictures in the blog post about the machine gun platoon
These look good -- very nicely done.
