[20mm] 2nd German Squad

Apologies my friends as I've been AWOL (again) for a while. Nothing too serious, but life has a habit of getting a little hectic at times. Also I have to admit I've simply not felt like taking pictures of my progress. It's so much easier taking a snap shot with your mobile phone and posting it to your social media of choice, than investing the time in setting up your 'proper' camera equipment. Make of that what you will, but I hope to get some more stuff posted again over the coming weeks. 

Todays offering is the second squad for my 20mm WW2 Germans. These have been sitting around finished for quite some time already. Still I thought they'd deserve to be shown to the wider public. Again they're AB Figures and almost painted up themselves. I've still two more squads to paint and then it's on to the supports.







12 figures worth 4 points each and I'm at 824 points for this year.

  2. I understand how you feel as it does take time prepping a blog post, however worth the time to view your beautifully painted figures.
    cheers John

  5. Sweet! These have been worth the wait and AB figures do the best 20mm WW2 figures (IMPO)

    Cheers, Ross

  7. Great stuff! It is a pain to do a blog post - but in terms of a (semi-)permanent record of one's hobby works it is still the best format.

  8. Almost missed your post, Nick. Fabulously painted as always - love tones you get with these.

  9. I find your 'clothing' and 'camo' work a work of art in itself. I hear you regarding the "mobile photos and social media of choice" as I too am getting a bit lazy taking photos. I seem to spend just as much time taking photos as I am modeling/painting sometimes.

  10. Superb brushwork my friend. Love these.

    Though my blogging has dropped off a bit from its heyday a decade ago, I still prefer it to any other social media as it provides a true journal of what I've been doing. While fun for a 'quick fix', Twitter and Instagram are just too ephemeral and fleeting for my tastes.

  11. Just superb - as always! What did you use for the bases? MDF circles? What size? I've been stuck finding something for base my 20mm PSC Brits. Thanks!

    1. Thanks! Regular grunts are based on 20mm rounds while weapon teams get a base fitting the team (i.e. prone, walking, whatever). Squad leaders are based on 25mm rounds while Platoon leaders are on 25mm hex-bases.
