One more rehabilitation project crosses the finish line. This time it is my 20mm Waffen SS Panzergrenadiers. I touched up all of the paint schemes, added ink shading and replaced the metal washers with wooden disks and better basing material.
So this
becomes this.
The completed platoon + |
Mixed leaders |
More special weapons |
The complete 'restored' group |
This particular squad of soldiers was so different I decided that they needed a complete repaint to be part of the unit.
Not sure who made these |
The result was a trial run of the Oak Tree pattern in 20mm for the group.
Now with actual detailing. |
Specialty figs |
The remainder are primarily in my interpretation of pea dot camouflage, or at least what I thought it looked like in 1999.
With all of the unpainted lead for this project completed, I need to considering adding some figures in the long term to round out the unit. First up will be completing the Half-Tracks and Scout vehicles to actually qualify them as Panzergrenadiers. Following that I need 1-2 AT guns as well as some Pioneers for use in various skirmish games.
Armored transport still needs some love. |
Prior to that, however, I still have a standard infantry platoon to finish, as well as the Paratroopers. I will be back this way again, however.
You are full of surprises!
ReplyDeleteIt's Paint of Die in action. I am still torn between continuing in 20mm or just selling off all of my 20mm and going to 28mm. It's mostly about terrain.
DeleteExcellent upgrades!
