Ive been working recently on some sktrex 15mm figures along with Psc amour for KG Normandy rules. Im really pleased with the results so far and would like to share with you for your perusal. Although Skytrex are an older range their figures still stand up very well when compared to some newer ranges available. A Psc Panzer IV. At the moment hand painted but an airbrush is on the way. A really nice kit.

They look very good. Are all infantry based in pairs in KG Normandy?

Very nicely done! I have mainly Command Decision/Skytrex in my late war WW II collection and I'm very happy with them. Richard

Hi Ross The basing is a little bit upto you. Aimed at 20mm they tend to base singly or in pairs. Firing is by squads with casualty removals. What ive done for the germans with a squad of 5 is two bases in pairs on 25mm squares and a single fig on a 20mm square base.

Thanks, love the painted models and the grass and earth mix of the bases.

Great job! Painting the SS camo had to be the challenge. I recently ordered psc T-34 models and have yet to put them together. The results of your Pz IVs look promising. The CD range of minis is pretty good for the value.

The CD figures are really nice. I intend to build most of my army with these, using PPig to fill in the gaps. Some of the later PPig stuff is also excellent quality.

thanks guys. No problem Tim. ita each to his own. the only thing i prob went over board on was the mud on the base of the schurtzen. ive just started working with pigments and am still practising. Im waiting for an airbrush for the heavier type of camo, hence the light green placed sparingly. Richard.

I have a load of the old glory/skytrex miniatures for my German FOW army, they look great, far better than the battlefront or PP i've seen which look like a bunch of blubbery michelin men, not to mention how much better the faces are on these compared to all other comers…
