Updated the blog with images of the 28mm WWII Canadians from Artizan. Really, they're British I'm painting as Canadian.

Only the faces so far in the blog, but I'm done the helmet and uniform. I'm trying a more subtle "more green than british BD" |

Well, looks good so far What outfit are you planning to paint? |

2nd Division, 5th Brigade, the Canadian Black Watch. For the longest time I played a computer game called WWIIOL as a member of the virtual Canadian Black Watch. Sadly no official unit history, but there is a war diary. |

There's something rather odd about Artizan's battle bowlers. But that seems to be a common fault in multiple ranges in multiple scales. Perhaps sculptors should be required to study photos such as these for a very long time before picking up the putty: link Allen |

By the way, do you have Michael Dorosh's "Dressed to Kill", published by Service Publications? If not, I recommend it as a guide to Canadian uniforms in WWII. It is unfortunately out of print now: servicepub.com/serv-pub.html Allen |

Great! No. 2 son played a piper in the First World War Black Watch for the CBC movie "The Great War" – I have lots of pictures of him in his WWI movie kit |

Thanks for the reference AEcurtis. I'm using mostly Canuck and Osprey's Canadian Forces in WWII. However, the book on formation markings would be very useful because neither of the books I have now cover the subject. Here's the latest: tyler.provick.ca/?p=750 |
