Here is the next Grunt for the second fireteam of the 1st Squad, 1st platoon. Again a Gringo 40 miniature, painted with Contrast paints.
More to come in the future. I just ordered two slicks from Italeri in 1/48. Need some air lift capacities for my games.
Here is the box for pouring the silicone mould:
The poured silicone not jet cured:
The cured mould and the first cast of “Das Boot”:
The cast next to the Revell 1/350 VIIc:
You can clearly see the difference between 1/300 ( in the background) and the 1/350 model now.
pictures of the finished model soon! I will put up a notice when the VIIc U Boat is available for purchase.
This is Grunt number VI of the 1st Squad 1st Platoon of my US Marines. Again a Gringo 40 miniature painted with Contrast Colors from Games Workshop.
More to follow!
Here is the next Grunt for my growing Vietnam war collection.
This time it is a figure by Gringo 40 miniatures. An afro-american ( hope that is the political correct designation) GI. These are wonderfull sculpts and are only slightly bigger then the Empress miniatures . They get along quite well so that I will mix both ranges in my american force.
Painted again with Contrast paint from games workshop.
I got my plastic rainforest vegetation in the post yesterday so will start on some scatter scenery shortly.
The next ship or boat is ready to go into the silicone. I will do the mould today.
I am really a bit frightened about how the air vents will show up on the resin cast. We will see tomorrow.
If all works out well “Das Boot” will be available next week.
Here are some pictures of a Cruel Seas game in progress, showing a ship provided by me build and painted by Lewis Morgan.
If you want the ships done by me can be purchased here.
Here is the last missing Grunt of the 1st fireteam ,1st squad,1st platoon of my US marine Vietnam project. Again a Paul Hicks sculpt available from Empress Miniatures:
And the 1st fire team:
More to come!
Here is Grunt number III of my Marines, again a paul Hicks sculpt by Empress.
Here is the next Grunt of my US Marine Platoon:
Again an Empress miniature. The face has to be redone though looks a bit like a Zombie up close.
As you can see here and here I started using the new Games workshop Contrast paints on the new Vietnam war ranges of Empress and Gringo 40.
As I am on my summer holiday now I took a few figures with me and will paint them up over the coming fortnight.
Here is the first figure finished. Grunt No I , a Empress miniature sculpted by Paul Hicks:
Next one tomorrow. The Uniform equipment and skin was done in Contrast paints the rest conventionally.
