Painted these few to see how peadot looked on the ab figs, I was also trying out different fieldgreys (effect is lost in some of the pics), will generally remove the shoulder boards when painting peadot in future though not uncommon to see officers and even some privates re attach them.

Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Next load will be many more of them.

If there is a picture in your post, I can't see it?

Very well done, superb really. And here I thought I might paint some 10mm ACW today but now I might have to dig out some 20mm WWII instead.

Pictures load just fine for me. Maybe let the page load longer?

I really can't tell the difference between field grey

Cheers
Duane

Hmm … slow loading pictures usually indicates that the pcture resolution is far too high. I suggest the OP reduce the size of his images.

Superb, are you sure they're only 20mm, bet they're 54mm really!!😋

God wills it21 May 2016 6:38 a.m. PST

Thx everyone…the pics are small so shouldnt be an issue…only 480pixel wide I think.

1st ab figs ive painted since I started 20mm ww2 gaming over 20yrs ago…. dunno why I waited so long.

Gunner Dunbar21 May 2016 7:37 a.m. PST

You've done a top notch job on theses fellas

alexjones21 May 2016 7:50 a.m. PST

Very nice. What paint colour combinations did you use for the pea dot camp please?

Berzerker7321 May 2016 8:16 a.m. PST

Excellent work, I love the camo!

I can see the difference in your greys. Some are brownish others look lighter grey. Fading in the field and different manufacturers will cause variations in uniform. They all look superb.

AB minis are the absolute best 20mm around. I love your paint scheme.

Timmo uk21 May 2016 9:32 a.m. PST

They look superb to me. I can see the subtle difference in some of the greys – a few tend towards more a green grey on my screen.

These are great! Am wondering what brand/color you used for the feldgrau? I am beginning to paint my AB Germans and am exploring possibilities…

Thanks for your help and for the great post.

AB figures are great. Then you put on the SS Pea Dot and they really come to life! A fantastic piece of art work!

Fantastic looking figures. Would love to know what combinations of paints/colours you used.
