Hi there, just got this lot done as a commission in the last 24 hrs.
They've come out pretty well for the standard I had offered but the photos are super washed out.
White balance is all over the place. Hey ho.
Constructive criticism, comments and telling offs for using the wrong green are more than welcome.

Nicely painted. ... but I straight away saw what looks like mould lines on the knee/leg of the machine gunner.

Guilty as charged.
Whilst I was putting the kits together they didn't look too bad ie. I thought I might get away with it.
It wasn't until the paint started to go on that I started to worry!
Quick, pile on a bit more paint.
Nope, didn't work.
Too late now,

The client has picked them up today I pointed them out saying that i'd have a scrape and a do over but he was happy and has given me some more kits to work on so all is good.
I give the chap a good rate as he puts a lot of work through me but i'll be more careful next time.

The German eighth of me is very sad that the only good German here seems to be a dead 'un.

But the Polish half is content.

Very nice painting.

Looks good.

A Heretic may see the truth and seek redemption. He may be forgiven his past and will be absolved in death. A Traitor can never be forgiven. A Traitor will never find peace in this world or the next. There is nothing as wretched or as hated in all the world as a Traitor. - Cardinal Khrysdam, Instructum Absolutio

No Wellbikes?

Cool stuff, don't mention the war, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Thanks guys, i'm glad you like them.
The German in me and the Brit in me were like, 'Meh, I wish they had chainswords and laserguns'.
The Ukranian in me was sad that the instructions for the Vickers kit from Master Box (a Ukranian company) were awful!

Thankfully, no. No parachutes either, lol.

A particular favourite bit was the Vickers' tripod being snapped before I opened the box, that was a fiddle.
Also the chain feed was super thin and 'designed' to be bent into position. It felt like a wire cutting, bomb deactivating scene from some movie.
And the less said about Sten guns the better. I'm glad not everyone carried one of those back in the good old days.

Next up are some German field Hospital chaps and 1/72 artillery.

Here's a few more bits in the same vein.
This time a German field hospital team with casualties.
C+C appreciated as always, cheers.

The first time the phrase "Update with more dead Germans" has been used legitimately lol.

The German medics and British Machine-gunners look especially awesome, but the whole thing is great.

Excellent work, the German greys look very authentic. I want that sort of effect for my DKoK one day!
