Here is the last NVA soldier of the lot i bought at the release date last year. Empress Miniatures NVA soldier , sculpted by Mr. Hicks.
And the last three together:
Next up ” throw smoke!”.
Another NVA regular . Figure by Empress miniatures.
Just one more and the first lot is finished.
Now that there are only three older NVA soldiers left before I start on the Crisis19 ones, I thought it would be a good idea to change my photo setup. Until now i took the pictures on my gaming table . The lighting wasn’t perfect there so I decided to make a small framework for my painting/modeling desk as light there is no problem. So I took two pieces of extruded polystyrene and glued them together with my hot glue gun.
You get something like this then. I glued sand and grid down like I would do on a piece for my gaming table and started painting it with my usual ground colors.
Then I painted the backdrop a light blue color and used a second even lighter tone of blue to simulate light clouds.
So when used correctly you get a picture like this:
Now you can use different scatter terrain pieces to change the layout as you like. Here are pictures of another NVA soldier using the plain photo frame I described above:
I think you get much better pictures like that . What do you think?
The NVA used quite a lot of banners for morale and command reasons. This is again a Indo China range figure by Empress miniatures.
More shortly.
This is the HQ bugler of my NVA platoon. The NVA used buglers quite often to relay orders in the field. The figure is again from the Empress miniatures Indo China range.
Will post more these days, to get your thoughts from Corona! Stay safe Stay at home!Â
This is the medic of my first NVA platoon. He is from the French Indo China range from Empress miniatures. Fits in quite nicely with the new NVA range.
More to come!
Another NVA Soldier. waiting for the action. Empress Miniatures NVA soldier.
Next up Platoon command .
