Hello everyone.
I've just finished this piece for the Col. Bills stall.
There's a number of other photo's on the blog, and further information on colours and basing etc.
Any errors with the uniform details are my own.
Thank you.
Roy

Very nice indeed
Take care

Yeah, I hope that's right? And Logistics didn't have their own colour ... I hate painting historic uniforms :'( :)
Waiting for some warm and dry weather so I can varnish. Be a shame to ruin it with buggered up varnish due to dampness in the atmosphere.
Supply troops, Nachschubtruppe, had light blue waffenfarbe ;)
But infantry, white, could have used something like this wagon locally
Thanks for the information paulr
I'll be using three of these same miniatures, with a 'Mata Hari' dancing girl, in a future piece, so I might just use the light blue waffenfarbe with them :-bd

Nice wagon Roy.
I don't think those latter 3 blokes would mind what colour waffenfarbe you paint them in, they look a bit errr...distracted currently :o
The choices they have are outlined here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corps_colours_of_the_Heer_%281935%E2%80%931945%29 :-\
:-bd Thank you pierre
Neither of the seated guys seem to be looking at her :-\
You could go with artillery red, as shown on the cover of of the book they are on
Is that the Demyansk Shield... :-\
I seem to have become distracted ;D

Yeah, they do seem rather indifferent.
The bloke behind them is probably thinking, 'If the pair of you ain't watching, then bugger off and let me have a seat.'
