Und jetzt noch mehr Blitzkrieg

 Lots of pics and not many words this evening, as its basically midnight and I should get to bed!

Here is a batch of 28mm Blitzkrieg German infantry completed and based in the last week or so....

Crusader Platoon command


Ditto


Crusader NCO and rifleman


1st Corps infantry stand


Ditto


Crusader NCO again (a different one!)


Warlord infantry


Crusader


Warlord


1st Corps MG34 crew



Crusader MG34 crew



Crusader 5cm granatwerfer (50mm mortar) no 1




Crusader 5cm granatwerfer (50mm mortar) no 2

Ok that's it for this post - it's been a long week and a long night and time I hit the hay!

      Cheers Aly...I do find 20th century and later figures a lot easier and quicker to paint than earlier periods

    Beautiful work Keith. I can't remember the last time I saw midnight, I very rarely make it to 10pm.

      Yes but sounds like you get up quite early, Lawrence? I have to, for work, but given the choice and a quieter house, I wouldn't get up till 8 or later!

    Good animation on the figure and nice work on helmet / epaulettes bits of colour / white. I would not dare to attempt either!

      Thank you Norm. I find the helmet decals rela easy but the Waffenfarbe on the collars could be done better I am sure!

    Nice work there Kieth on the Germans - glad to see your pressing on with the 28mm WW2 Project and enjoying it greatly....certainly like to see the 1/57th Kit Vehicles you'll be using for your games. Regards. KEV.

      Thank you Kev! I went a bit OTT with vehicles, mainly because a few came up on an online auction site very cheap....the first three have been built and mostly painted....I just need to psyche myself up to try and do the transfers...a task I dislike intensely!

    Great work Keith. They all look fab, but I particularly like the crusader mg and mortar teams.

      Thanks Richard - it's certainly a classic pose, with the LMG resting on the number two's shoulder - I don't think I would have liked to be the guy who had a red-hot machine gun on my shoulder, six inches from my face, though!

    Nicely done: a good, quick post with some nice figs and pix. I should learn from this and do more of the same (as opposed to holding off and making each post something of a "project").

      Lol, I had to use Google translate myself, Stew (and yes, I did do three years of German at high school too)

    The two manufacturers mix in really well. Makes for some good looking and interesting bases of figs. Good stuff Keith!

      Thanks Dai, there are a few minor differences in style between the different figures, but not enough that they don't work together, fortunately.
