WIP Fallschrimjager Squad Part Four

This time I have painted the remaining trousers, bandoliers, knee protection and bread bag in Luftwaffe blue grey, the gasmask bag in a more greenish light olive grey, the belts and Y straps in light red brown leather and the canteen felt cover in red brown the uncovered helmets and everything that should be painted in Field Grey I also have tried to take photos with more light in order to better see the LW Splinter Camouflage.
It has been two weeks since I’ve started this unit and I think that it starts to look like Ronald’s Volstad illustrations of German Fallschrimjagers at Crete from witch I has inspired, don’t you think?

The colors I have used for the Lw Splinter cammo are all Vallejo Model Colors

Field Color
a) German Field Grey
b) Khaki
c) Ivory

Brown Pattern
a) German Cam. Black Brown
b) Flat Brown
c) Desert Yellow

WIP Fallschrimjager Squad from Crete to Leningrad

As I had finished the three Generals I was looking for a new project of a unit this time. I had started painting a unit of Cretan archers because I wanted something simple but painting just flesh and black was to simple so as I was searching my boxes of metal I found out that I had some Foundry’s German Fallschrimjagers, enough to create a squad, and a far more interesting subject don’t you agree? So a new project started on Friday and this is what I have done so far, I have finished all the flesh and the grey green trousers, some hands were left to be painted with black gloves.
