AB Figures British Officers

I had a trio of AB Figures British Army officers all based and primed and ready to hit the painting area. Finally while soaking up the excitement of Ashes cricket they were finished! Colonel Bairstow on the left, Captain Stokes in the middle and a casual General Crawley on the right. As always love painting AB figures, the detail is so good they make it easy. The poses are relaxed and natural, I especially like the folded newspaper or betting guide in the Colonel’s pocket. I used custom decals from Company B for their shoulder insignia as that is getting too small for my painting skills and eyes. My eyes are old and grey…… Usual British colours with three shades. Nice gold buttons too on the Colonel’s jacket. Behind is a Dodge weapons carrier from Italeri, a kit that is quite rare these days. Shame they don’t re-release it as I would buy a couple more.

ICM Krupp Car now with a squad in the back!

My finished Krupp truck from the last post now with a squad of Germans in the back. These guys are from a Caesar Miniatures set of German SS Tank Riders in camo smocks. Very useful set as you can see they also fit perfectly into transport. I tried out a new paint set for Autumn camo which worked out nicely. The orangey camo was a bit trickier than the green Spring one and having the right colours really helps. The driver and passenger are from AB figures.
