Nik asked me to paint his WW1 Germans and British, so with a spare five minutes in my schedule, here they are.
An infantry unit with machine gun stand
Yes, I did do cuffs, collars, facings, tail piping, trouser seams and helmet numbers!
Top view
But where one goes, they do not go alone. All six units of infantry
Not bad since I only started them last Monday
Top view
Because they would not fit in the light box with their infantry, all six machine gun attachements
Do not want to be down range of that
Uhlans with their attached machine guns
Fun fact I did not know, German cavalry used tubular steel lances in WW1!
The line
Player's view
German gun line
Gunners being busy
Top view
Spot the deliberate mistake?
Nik and I realised the gun shields are on backwards (Nik blamed a 'Red Wine incident'), I tried to take them apart but they were stuck fast!
Commanders (I know it's terribly unhistoric, but the temptation to do a couple of uncovered Pucklehaubs was too much)
Back of the commanders
Of course, they need suitable opposition. Here are the British.
Love them - you've done a great job on these :)
