Very nice. I like your choice of colors for both the German and French uniforms and your basing technique.

Yes, agreed – great work! The uniforms look great – as does the rest. What do you use to get that trampled dried grass effect not he base – it's really effective.

Thank you. For the bases I mix pumice gel with a good amount of static grass and a pinch of coarse sand, I then mix in some Vallejo Flat Earth and apply to the bases with a spatula. Once dried I give a light dry-brush with Vallejo Dark Sand.

Thanks Scrivs – very effective. Will have to try and track down some pumice gel and give it a go. Thanks for sharing
