Here's a couple of test paints I did a while back, AIP Germans and French.

Nice! Which is the manufacturer? |

^^^ Armies in Plastic IS the manufacturer. |

Corporal: Sadly, mine don't look anywhere near as nice as yours do. |

I didn't realize they did those… Very nice painting. |

… and I had pretty much decided that my WWI project for next year would be plastic but 20mm … Suddenly … am I sure … ? Hmmm … Inspiring stuff, Steve … Phil |

Thanks, guys. I'm pruning most the 54mm stuff from my collection, but at least documenting what I did first with some photos. Regards,

Nicely done! I toyed with doing skirmish WWI in 54mm but nobody else was interested. We're doing 28mm instead. I do my larger battles in 1/72 my preferred scale for almost everything.  Thanks, John |

They are very nice indeed. I did mine in 'toy soldier' style – all gloss varnish and mad staring eyes… Yes, you can get 54mm tanks, at a price. For large battles I found 20mm plastics a better bet, but a few battalions of 54mm stuff is fun to have around. We use them for Funny Little wars. |

Really nice, the way you have photographed them make them almost look like flats |

I wrote them an email some years back regarding machine gun crews. respomse was an emphatic NOPE! THATS REALLY A SHAME TOO I have bags of french and german (latewar) would love to do a "garden game, dig trenches with spoons and garden shovels and make little sand bags like tea bags. yeah, I thought about that. everyone thought I was mad. |

Yeah, I drew the same reaction awhile back. I finally decided to do an end run around the problem by using what IS available, which are WWII machine guns. Fortunately, Tamiya and others sell a lot of equipment sets; I look for MG models that are not too different from their WWI predecessors and say close enough is close enough. For crew, I cut the rifles or whatever away from kneeling figures. Admittedly, my task is made somewhat easier by the fact that I do only 1914 forces, so there are no LMGs, etc., to worry about--just 1 HMG-type each for the Brits and Germans (and French when I get around to converting FFL or later-war figures). I'm sure this approach would make the purists cringe, but they don't have to play in my games, either. |
gets started with WWI British in 15mm.
