Looking for some sort of painting guide, preferably Vallejo colors. Is anyone aware of one out the in the cyber world? |

can't help with colors, but can suggest you track down the movie "April 9th" about a company of Danish Bicycle troops. |

Click on the first picture on page of Great Escape's Danish range, it will provide you a pdf painting guide: link |

Thanks for the help. I can figure out the colors from there I think. That and watching April 9 for the 4th or fifth time. One of my favorite movies. My grandfather immigrated to the US from Denmark well before the war, but I wanted to do a Danish force none the less. |

Stoss, I'm of the same mindset. April 9 is a phenomenal movie IMO; I too have Danish ancestry, watching April 9 and memories of my trip to the Krigsmuseet in Copenhagen inspire me to paint up some 1940 Danish troops. A TMP member put together a mini campaign with scenarios coming from the scenes of the movie. If you run a few queries on this site you should be able to track down the PDF. |

I may have saved that campaign, I'll have to check. If not I'll get it for sure. |

My general rule of thumb for any and all 'minor' powers in WW2, be the Rumanian, Dutch, Hungarian, Danish or whatever is to paint them brown. Brown seems to have been a very popular uniform colour. Vallejo English Uniform does nicely. Finns and Swedes were apparently the exceptions in grey of course. |

Yeah after watching April 9th again this week looks like English uniform will do nicely. |

Anyone do 1940 Danes in 15mm or in 1/72nd plastic? I'm interested, but in a small project. |

you could probably get away with Dutch in greatcoats in 15mm the helmets are similar. |
