Done some weird things
for the sake of gaming/modelling over the years. Set fire to a few
things to create a realistic battle damage look. Once ran into a
chemist covered in white powder looking to get some syringes for a
time sensitive terrain project involving plaster of Paris. Flower
arranging was something I did not see coming. But I was
inspired by German Frank’s 101st airborne basing that I decide to
give it a go.
The method
GW= games workshop
paint, V=Vallejo paint PP= privateer press
The bases were done
using the “Cork method”
Models Based and ready for priming
The models were
undercoated plastikote grey.
The parkas were painted
V german camo beige.
The trousers, Bergmütze
(Mountain Cap) were painted V. german uniforms
Just the trousers and caps painted
The rifles and flasks
were painted PP. brown
Faces and hands were
painted V flat flesh.
just the main colors done
Boots and belts were
painted V black
Back packs were painted
V US drab
Machine guns and rifle
barrels were painted V gunmetal
Pre wash state
The bases were painted GW graveyard earth then dry brushed V yellow ochre
The entire model was
given a wash of an even mixed of V smoke, V thinner and water
The base were then
covered in Heki flowers, then tufts of
grass by Silfor and finally GW flock.
Flowers interflora Heki
I considered with the
idea of using different coloured flower to distinguish the platoons
but in the end opted to put unit markings on the base instead.

Off topi,c but finally got the painting rack finished. Not bad for 10 euro at German Ikea
