Painting 1/200th British Infantry (Continued)

The painting tray still has a collection of those small 1/200 army men on it, my third 1940 BEF Battalion.

Base high light brown:


Flocking on some static grass:


Paint the British helmets green (Vallejo Russian Green and then mix in a bit of Yellow for a highlight). Some spares:
  • 2 x Vickers HMG Stands, 1 x Command Stand, 1 x Mortar Stand, 1 x Bren Section Stand


British infantry battalion OOB:
  • 12 Infantry Stands, 1 Mortar Stand, 1 Engineer Stand, 1 Carrier Stand,1 HQ Stand


The painted stands for the Battalion Attack get a retrospective "Green Helmet":
  • 12 x Infantry Stands, 1 x HMG Vickers Stand


That just leaves one more battalion to retrospectively paint "Green Helmets" onto (currently in the loft). Then next stage is to assemble and paint the BEF1940 Infantry Brigade support stands.

    Hi Geordie, those spares would fit in nicely as a Machine Gun Battalion Company attached to Brigade.

    Nice work all around.

    You read my mind Paul,it works out as a Vickers HMG per battalion something by 1944 which had been devolved down to the battalion as a matter of course

    Monty I'm glad you liked them it's high time my 1/200th collection came out to play

    It seems to have suddenly "grown" courtesy of eBay just recently
