40mm semi flat Twenties imaginations

 Been working the last couple of days on my 40 mm figures. I want to get some finished in order to set up a few games. The light blue uniforms are inspired by Bavarian uniforms of 1914 whilst the dark blue ones are inspired by Wurttemberg also from 1914. The jaegers are in green or light blue with green cuffs and collar.





The figures are a mix of sizes, makers and types, it doesn’t matter , as what I am trying to achieve is a scene in an imaginary 1920’s nursery , in a world which never existed where the checkerboard of little Germanic states flourished with no ww1 in the past or ww2 to come. 

Simple paint job, gloss varnish and diverting, engaging fun for all ages.

    Sehr gut, Herr Gruber! The poem (useful phrases) and the idea of a 1920s nursery without WW1 or WW2 is a charming one. RLS Das Land der Bettdecke (Counterpane)?

      Thanks, l feel that the hobby has a place for such speculations and whimsy. Sometimes we need a small lead world away fro the horrors of Big War.

    Very nice, look forward to seeing them in action! The little "learn English" poem seems appropriate to the concept of a twenties nursery setting too!

      It is a great wee poem and a helpful one too. It was a fortunate find and works in well with the concept nicely.
