These look like mid to late war uniforms?

Yep…

Piers, I would love to see some videos of you painting. Because your stuff is remarkable. And because videos show much more than obvious things -- they show the subtle techniques that elevate your painting.

Amazing for 15mm. The inherent limits of the scale start to kick in – can't make the tripods/bipods to the right scale or even close but that goes for any manufacturer in this scale. Plus it is barely noticeable on the tabletop.

Lovely painting on some great models.

Just wondering when we can see some of the PSC "new wave" figures in 20mm ?

The new 15mm offerings are far superior to their 20mm counterparts.

PiersBrand14 Aug 2015 2:06 a.m. PST

I would say Mysteron the answer with regards new 20mm is 'when Will is happy with the quality'.

He has set very high standards for any new 20mm figure sets, and I dont think he will release anything unless he is happy with it.

I also think he is trying to concentrate on one size this year, as the designer gets used to this style, and get as many 15mm sets out as he can to fill out armies completely.

Im just guessing, but it wouldnt surprise me to see a similar 'mass wave' of 20mm figure sets in the future.

But Im just guessing… though I will be working with the designer on the 20mm sets in the same manner I assist with the 15mm figure sets (just finished the 15mm British Airborne and they look deadly!) by offering historical research and suggestions. Obviously what I suggest is often tempered by whats possible and what works in plastic, but I think lately they have been pretty good…

But Will has asked I do the same role with the 20mm sets, and work on the posing, as he knows 20mm is 'my scale' so to speak. So I guess you can take that as an indication that at some point, there will be 'next-gen' 20mm plastics.

(and I know its not a scale…) ;)

Nick,

if I knew how to do a video, and edit one, I would but Im a duffer at such things!

Can just about manage photos!

But never say never… ;)

Thanks Piers

I guess it will be something to look forward to in the future unless of course you are a manufacturer of metal 20mm WW2 figs :)

Will PSC sell single spruce for their infantry like they do with their tanks?

I would be really happy to see an infantry platoon reinforcement as well: just finished my British company, making 4 rifle companies (!!!), so not at all ready for a 5th!

Another tour de force from Piers. The camouflage on those zeltbahns and helmet covers is nothing short of amazing. I tried that once, and only once mind you. Looked terrible, but seeing these gives me inspiration to attempt it again. Also didn't know PSC made 15mm infantry. I will have to give them some consideration. Thanks for posting and keep up the great work!

Paul
