It looks excellent and you can certainly consider this very well painted.

One suggestion I have, based on many years of painting Epic miniatures,
is to change the way the bare metal areas are painted (eg the gun barrel).   

Firstly, paint all the metal areas with your favourite metal colour.   I also add
some bronze or even gold detailing.  Secondly, I cover the Boltgun and Bronze
areas with one of the dark tone inks available (GW Badab Black / Army Painter
Dark Tone / GW Nuln Oil etc).   This adds an amazing graded tone to the colour.   
Finally, highlight these metal areas with boltgun or bronze as appropriate.

These pics might help :



To give you an idea of the scale, they are sitting on UK 1 penny coins (which
are approx 2cm in diameter).   I have found this process to be so easy and so
effective, it almost feels like cheating...

Just a thought.

Get on working those already!


@Glorfindel: Sir! I've put your advice in immediate use, here's a few pieces where all the metallic shine has been killed with washes and have not been highlighted. Fits the World War feel better, when compared to shiny knights!

And @Leman, fear not. For Saxony had a brief moment of independence, but has succumbed under Prussian rule.

The other germanic faction will instead be Austrian Empire

Lovely work once again .

Really like the way this project is turning out - excellent stuff (glad the
suggestion was of some help).

The detail on the planes really pops.



Phil

Not my usual plate of sausages; but this is lovely.

Seconded

Looks good to me

Take care

Cheers!

I was wondering how to differentiate the Austrian and German troops, so I came up with this kind of Field Gray and white trousers theme. How do you like it?

The troops are 19th century Saxon Jagers with their plumes cut off.

Works for me .

They look really good.

Cheers - Phil

Those look amazing

Interesting idea.

 

They really stand out, good work!

Those are nice!

Good to hear that scheme works!

How about the french armoured vehicles? These definitely look cartoonish with the blue tint. But do you guys feel it might work with similarly coloured infantry?
