The crazy "Project" a 1:1, US, WWII, ETO (Normandy/Germany), Infantry Company (minus the 60mm Mortar supports - that is a small follow on mini-project) painted in 1/72 from an assorted plastic figure collection of Revell (Ardennes), Italieri, Caesar and Plastic Soldier Company [PSC] (see below, the sunlight lit painting tray) :
I have adopted the finish a small pilot (squad) batch then go into "death before glory" full factory production mode. It seems to be working but I have a tight deadline!

First of all the one I ended up using (see below, designed for 15mm FoW figures but I used it for my 1/72 plastic miniatures):

Excellent links. Funny, I just posted on 20mm British ww2 over at mine, using contrast paints. I can't get enough of them at the minute. I was never getting the plastic and lead pile painted otherwise... now?I might actually get there.
I think you hit the nail on the head in your article Duc de Gobin, undercoating light white-sand is a key part of the contrast paint process, for my Americans I used a dark grey primer so went traditional FoW painting tutorial with them for Vallejo paints.
What Google AI Lens thought of the image in this post: "The image displays a collection of Death Korps of Krieg miniatures, a renowned regiment from the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
These miniatures are part of the Astra Militarum faction and are known for their distinctive WWI-inspired aesthetic, including gas masks and trench coats.
The Death Korps of Krieg are famed for their grim determination, their focus on attrition warfare, and their willingness to fight to the last man.
You can find these miniatures and related products, such as the Kill Team: Death Korps set, on the official Warhammer website.
Availability may vary by region, so check the specific Warhammer store for your location (e.g., Warhammer.com for the UK or Warhammer.com for New Zealand)."
Speechless .. at "how wrong" but it was just looking at the image not reading the associated text
