I have just finished a couple of test pieces of French infantry for my
Watch Am Escargot 1940
Axis & Allies project. They are based for
FoW but can be used for a number of systems.

It is a long time since I painted any 15mm and it is not my favourite scale from a painting point of view. Not small enough for micro techniques, too small for larger scale ones. Consequently I decided dip was the way.

The figures are
Peter Pig, bought many
Fiasco's ago, and are nice miniatures, the dip does a good job in picking out the detail. I went with the block paint, dip and some drybrushed highlights technique and think it has worked quite well.

The remaining French are currently dipped and drying for 24 hours, so hopefully there will be a load more done this week. Next should be the French AFV's...

Very nice....My son and I are also working our way through some Peter Pig French, but ours are going to be fielded as Belgians for Chain of Command.
ReplyDeleteGreat work! That's the only way I paint 15mm stuff, to be fair ;)
ReplyDeleteNice, early stuff is always good
