Those look fab! Particularly like the naval unit

[Antioch (Bob)]

Yes great looking units....love your armoured cars. Appreciate you taking the time to post.

[Fat Wally]

Beautiful work indeed.

Hi... 

Here are the two regiments of reservist infantry I still had to paint, with another machinegun base...

Those guys come from everywhere (factories, farms, docks from the Baltic Sea...) : their equipment is poor, with old rifles, nearly no uniforms... 






































I still have one last cavalery regiment nearly ready... I will post some pictures of my whole army next week, as all this project comes to an end... 


Hourre !!!!

Anatoli - many thanks for the inspiration - I have a few of these to paint one day!

Looking forward to seeing the whole force in due course.

Thank you... 

Of course, you can use them for the Mill...

I will post some few pictures of the whole army next week (I am finishing the painting of a last cavalry regiment).

Cheers,

Xavier

[Anatoli]

Here we are... 

This project comes now to an end, with the painting of my last cavalry regiment...  :cheers:

As soon we will be able to meet again in our local club, I will continue the RCW campaign started a few month ago with Pierre...

So as written above, here are some pics of the whole army...



































































































As I finished my project, I think I will go back to another one I started 2 years ago : the battle for Normandy, 1944... I am trying to create a battlefield with a village, bocage outside, farms, etc. Maybe I will post photos later... 

[Antioch (Bob)]

Anatoli,  wow the army looks great together.

Well done sir.

[Colonel Kilgore]

They all turned out rather nicely - many thanks for sharing!

Thank you... 

About scenery :

- Houses : 4Ground houses (for 15 mm) ; I still have to work on it (repainting, ...) ;

- Roads : Time Cast (http://www.timecastmodels.co.uk/range_38/38roads.html) ;

- Trees : Heki (tree products for Model Railways) ;

- Walls : home made... I use little stones from my garden to make a wall (stones+ glue). Once ready, I use a liquid silicon for making a mould from this wall. I then use grey plaster to duplicate the wall. After painting, I add some thin clump foliage on it...    The photo below shows the wall just out from the mould.





Cheers

Thanks for the information.
With the MDF buildings, try water colour pencils and felt tipped markers. You may find this easier and quicker than actual painting.
You can find brush pens or markers using water or solvent.  The water are best for general colouring and the solvent for details. Water colour pencils have all sorts of uses.
If you want to spray use 'Graffiti' spray paints.

Good luck.

Thank you, Leslie...

I would have never thought about water colour pencils until you mentioned them !!
It seems to be a good idea...
