I have to do something different. So i started with a German Africa Korps-List for the ruleset Operation Squad. The advantage for me, you don't need much miniatures. With 10 to 12 Figures you can play a really nice game.
First i painted a testfigure to find out, which colors and paints are suitable for painting Uniforms for the Afrikakorps. At the end of the Test-Mini i had a List of paints which i would use for the further paintings.
Here is the result of the first testmini.
More pics of the Mini and what paints and pigments i used you can find on the blog.
In the meantime i could finish two further grenadiers - Hans and Guenther.
For these two guys i used other Colors from my painting-sheet for the trousers and the jackets. I like the results of the difference colors. For the equipments i use always the same colors to simulate the uniformity of the unit.
here are much more pics from the two soldiers.
