Starting with the basic infantry platoon all the figures are from Perry Miniatures and are in the early war uniforms, first a quick clean up and a base of undercoat.

Similar to my previous “Infamy” project the aim was to get these figures “table ready” rather than try to win any painting prizes (which I wouldn’t anyway) so it was going to be basic block colours and away. For the main uniform it was Middlestone, puttees Field Grey and then a dry brush with pale sand.

It was then a matter of washing with a soft tone and another light dry brush with sand and then it was onto the rest of the figure.
