Hi all, These are the first 20mm models for WW II that I have ever done. I worked far too long on them for my tastes, but they represent almost every AB infantryman for the Germans, plus a few CP models thrown in to the command squads for variety. I hope you like them! Jerry

well done.

They look as good as those on the AB website. If I ever decide to do 20mm WWII, I have to use the AB figures.

Those are great Jerry.

Heh. Thanks, all!

Top notch painting. As a recent convert to 20mm, I have to say the model size is the sweet spot when painting infantry. Not too much like 28mm, and not enough like 15mm. ~iPaint

Not sure how long they took but excellent results…!

Those are excellent. Like iPaint, I find 20MM quite a joy to paint and most of my miniatures are that size. This is after years of painting 28mm and 15mm figures. Just my opinion.

They would have taken a LOT less time to finish had I not done them all at the same time. That stretched the job out a lot since it made it seem so much more daunting. And guess what…? ALL my AB Americans are sitting on my board right now getting painted. I'll never learn!

Haha, I think economies of scale work in reverse when it comes to painting; maybe it feels better to do a lot of a few than a little bit of a lot ? Anyway, look forward to seeing the Yanks when they're done.

I've done a few hundred 20mm and mine still don't look that good. Nice work, sir!

I love 20mm, i never even really bothered with anything else
