Oh no, more Germans...,Caesar, 1:72

Just finished 7 more Germans from Caesar. I hope you like them.

A lonely (k)night, Italeri

In my office this little fellow guards my Computer since 2009. But now I think I should give him a second chance. I hope to give him more "depth" by doing a wash and take a closer look on the details.
A successful week to everyone!

On the workbench....

I wasn´T lazy the lat days. After the break because of my s+++load of work in my office now its just fun and realxing. A lot of Germans, as you can see, but also one Halftrack. To be continued...
A nice Sunday to everyone!

Cadian HQ, Games Workshop, update

After working 14 day without a break I was too tired to build or paint. But yesterday I continued my work on these Figures. I was looking for a colour mix and tested a lot. As I prefer 1:72 WW 2 as topic, I wanted to give them a touch of that period. At last I decides that I use a mix of "Britsh uniform", "Fieldblue" and "German Fieldgrey". Now the "real" paintjob will be done ;-)

Because I was "offline" the last days I really don´t know about the blogger-problems. I´m not able to give comments. Is this problem new? Have you got the same problems? I´m sorry that I was not able to comment your nice work on your blogs!
Greetings and best wishes for a nice weekend!

EDIT: I found out that I´ve got problems concerning the comments only when using the IE. With Chrome I´m able to comment. So we will meet on your Blogs again ;-)

German Anti-Tank-Gun Crewmember, Italeri, 1:72

Today only one new entry: A Figure from Italeris ATG-Set. The rest will follow later, but they get a Camo-Scheme and that needs more time to realize ;-)I`m sorry for the qualitie but I had difficulties with the light when I made these pictures. Too bright or too dark...but I hope you can see what you want to see.

Opel Blitz, Panzer III, Zvezda, 1:100

Yesterday I continued my work on the about 30 Germans. But after painting 30 Bread Bags, Canteens, Gas Mask shelters and so on I get bored. So I continued my paintwork on these two little kits from Zvezda. Still W.I.P. but I can see the end. I´m not satisfied with the windows of the Opel. I used a dark colour and then I took a coat of glossy varnish. It doesn`t work that way I thought it should. I would be grateful for every suggestion to paint those "windows"!

Painting: How it started.....my first knights!

Have I ever mentioned that I started my "Minifigures-Painting career" about 3 years ago because I wanted to paint some knights for my older son? As a child I´d got hundreds of small soldiers but never painted them. I built loads of planes and battleships at that time and painted them, but never the minis. But when my son started to play with knights I started to build him a castle and purchased some knights. On weekend we cleaned up our cellar and I found these figures. I glued them on this stick for the pictures. As you can see, I had no ideas of "washing" or drybrushing three years ago. Some were never finished as well and some had heavy fights in the sandbox ;-). Perhabs I will give them a second try, just because the next son started playing with these figures...
