Sneek peek of the Belgians





Once again my digital camera conspires to make my figure painting look awful.
The grey uniform is in fact grey-green, and the mustard coloured atire of the others is in fact a khaki brown. The only things that have stayed the same shade are the red Line Infantry collar tabs, and the scatter grass that I put on the bases.
That aside, you can see the general layout of the Belgians, with a Chasseur Ardennais Jager in the bottom left hand corner. The section support weapon is the FN Mle1930, a Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal version of the Browning Automatic Rifle. The NCO wears a bonnet de police, and wields a Mitrailette Modele 1934. Everyone else has the standard FN M1930 Geweer copy of the German Gew.98.

  1. The reason your getting unhappy results is from down loading the pics straight from your personal computer which is useful for storage and packaging.You should join a photo processing site online.I use photobucket and it's Free!You will be much more happy with all your hard work.Here is the site:

  3. I like them a lot. Just finished painting a bunch of these in 15mm which means I better buy these in 28mm or the dice gods will forsake me.

    Regarding the color issue, check your white balance prior to shooting.

  7. Is it possible to have available spare heads for Chasseur Ardennais Jager? The beret is floppy enough for Polish tank crew. What do you think?

    Cheers,
