on the painting desk this week, Germans & old Guard


 Well here we are again haven't had as much time with the brushes this week with family stuff school plays and such oh and my 20th wedding anniversary but for those who know me you know that i will find a pace somewhere in there to paint so here's where i'm at first of all the Old Guard still working on them up to the gold now did the first coat on the back packs last night i think they are coming along well and should have them finished some time next week. I also paint up part of a commission yesterday a few German ww2. I have some Americans and a few German ww1 trench raiders to do before they head off

still a bit of work to do yet on the faces and the back packs and a few other things but they are starting to look the part oh and i still have to do most of the trousers.










 I managed to start the skin on these lads

    They look great,

    I have a load of 28mm I need to finish and then sell, I just need the time :).

    Also - how do you attach the figures to the temporary cradboard base - is it glue ?

    Cheers

    Fantastic painting and production as always, Galpy. Those French Guardsmen will be a potent unit. Best, Dean

    Thanks for the nice comments guys.
    As to the mix of figures the old guard is for my French army and the WW2 is for a commission
