ITLSU 1914 reinforcements

[paulr]

I grabbed some pictures of the artillery crew and standard bearers before they were removed from the painting rod.

Pierre the Shy will base the artillery crew with the 150mm FGs he is painting up. He will add the standard bearers PPW20 from the 1860's/70's Prussian/German range to the German HQs for "purely aesthetic " reasons

Looking really good, and particularly effective shading.

[paulr]

It's amazing what a wash will do on well sculpted figures

Jägers and Infantry reinforcements based 

Might get them varnished later today

[paulr]

The weather was kind despite the forecast and I got the Jägers and Infantry reinforcements varnished and photographed

In my 1917 thread I commented

The more minor conversions I attempt the more respect I have for the skills of Techno, Clib, et al

Techno kindly commented that

90% + is practice, Paul.
Every single person on this forum, that paints the wee men, has the main 'skill' that's involved......Hand/eye coordination.

Well here is a chance to see how much little practise I have had

Jäger Battalion





Close ups of the bicycle company some of whom started out as WWII GR45 Infantry pushing loaded bicycle











Infantry Regiment Reinforcements
One stand per company to bring the two weak battalions of the Regiment up to full strength





Spare company
Three stands of infantry had been based as stand ins for the Machine gun battery, I based a couple of spare figures to bring them up to a full strength company, perhaps pioneers

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice indeed.

[Leman]

They all look really good. What an imaginative use of the WWII cyclist.

[Techno]

What those two said. 
Cheers - Phil

Pierre the Shy came up with the idea

Pierre the Shy came up with the idea

Very pleased with the results - the WW2 figures transformed into WW1 cyclists without too much trouble, thanks to Paul

that's a big battalion of Jagers - have to come up with suitable scenario soon for them to make an appearence

[Ace of Spades]

Impressive!
Like the bicyclist too; maybe I'll get some to convert to refugees...might be interesting

Cheers,
Rob

The additional additional reinforcements have arrived in country so they will get added to the queue once Pierre the Shy drops them off
