I've just finished a second group of infantry from the same box:

Great work – thanks for sharing |

Nice work! I really think 1/72 is under appreciated. |

Great job of painting. Like TXWargamer, I think 1/72nd scale figures don't get the credit they deserve. Grelber |

Well done! I agree that 1/72 is under appreciated and under used. The miniatures are usually highly realistic and properly proportioned, not to mention inexpensive. Also, there are plenty of 1/72 vehicles for them. |

Im not normally a fan of plastics, but I painted these figures too and they are exceptional. |

Very nicely painted. These are some extremely well sculpted figures but as a dyed in the wool plasticophile I was unfortunately not able to use them due to their immense size – at Average Height 25.5 mm (PSR methodology) they are far too big next to nearly all of the "1/72" plastic figures already in my collection. |

They are on the tall side, but I use them anyway. They seem to be attired in North African era uniforms and equipment, so that sets them apart from many others, like the Revell who seem to be wearing Battle of the Bulge clothing. My favorite is the tanker with .45 pistol. Great figure. I have also done a few head swaps with that guy to make a few more tankers. Excellent job painting and basing these guys.

Mike I also think the tanker is a nice addition to the box and I'm also going to steal your idea of head swapping to get more tank crew. I use 10mm for ancient and fantasy big battles, 15 mm for sci-fi and 28mm for fantasy skirmishes, but 1/72 is the best scale for WWII IMHO. Thanks to all for your kind words. |

great! did you do a black wash after the initial base colors were put on? what paints did you use? |
| blacksmith | 18 Dec 2020 12:35 p.m. PST |
I washed them with acrylic betumen of Judea (helmets with Nuln oil) and I used Vallejo paints.

@ slope game: Great work! I really like 1/72 scale figures. They are usually highly realistic. I try painting these figures |
