Colditz - the board game upgrade
the pieces start to come together!
It has been a while since my last update – however i have managed to make some headway.
3 units have now been completed these are:
1) The RAF ‘the few’
2) The Polish
3) The British Army
The first was the RAF, these were completed namely with game colour sombre gray (As this is a nice bluey gray), oak brown for the leather, random colours for scarfs and hair
I used model air yellow ochre, army painter deep blue, army warpainter pure red and matt white for the base
The Completed RAF
The next was the army which again I painted in flesh colours, using yellow olive by game colour and oak brown again. The bases i found harder for this, i finally found a method my shakey hands could do at this minute level, paint the white, then the red st georges cross, then the blue, then the white and red diagonals over the top. They’re messy but they get the job done!
The British army.
Lastly were the polish, which i painted pretty much like the english, but using the warlord games guide on polish uniforms:

however finding 20mm passive/pow polish is very hard to find. So instead I used a mix of german (the officers mainly as they have the puffy trousers/caps mix which looked similar to the polish uniforms in the above) and some russians. I then painted the polish flag on the base. I like how these came out considering no polish POW figures available!
