Goblin Green or Alpine Meadow?

 I finished the Swiss this morning.

Simple base colour used - is it Goblin Green or lush alpine meadow , you decide…
I have padded out the Swiss with some Copplestone and random figures to represent a Swiss Home Guard unit. As for the resin prints l have major reservations. My resin French were charming, immaculate prints, I want to say castings, force of habit l guess. However the Swiss have strange twisted limbs, huge hands , odd poses and tiny rifles. I was going to send them back but realised there are no other 28mm Swiss available that l know of on the market. So I ran with them. A combination of painting and not peering too closely afterwards has worked ok.
The tanks were a different matter. The panzer 39’s are crisp models and a joy to paint. I finished them like the infantry with a coat of gloss varnish, please don’t faint.

Now to get them on the table in a wee game…

  1. I didn't notice those 'imperfections' on the figures before you mentioned it. It's not a big thing i think.
    Your tanks looks great!
