Zitat
This is the start of my 2nd \"Das Reich\" PanzerKompanie.I\'m beginning with my infantry support using a Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier platoon.I used a mix of Pea Dot,Oak Leaf and a few in German Fieldgrey trousers.
I\'ll add more to this thread as I finish stuff.
Next up is some NW41 Rocket Launchers. :evilgrin:
Later vechicles will be added.
I hope some of you enjoy the pics. :)

Of Note:The idea is they are conducting operations through a village with some crumbling walls showing and the cobblestone streets are a bit overgrown.This will be the theme for my whole army.We are fighting Late War Normandy at our club.

Oi Mr Axe. They look splendid. Well done!! My \"Dark Nights\"(I like the phrase) are a lot darker and you have to look very close to see the oak leaf pattern. Really nice work. Also waitin`for more.
Regards
Philip

That look very impressive!

The camo pattern and the choose of colors is first class and looks very realistic. I didn\'t thought that this quality could be achieved on 15 mm (I guess).

Thank you for sharing and I am eagerly waiting for the next pictures too.

Ciao

Wirklich ausgesprochen gut! Die Farben der Tarnkleidung sind sehr gut gewählt und die Einheit wirkt klasse und sieht genau nach Normandie aus.
Are you sure that there were Eagles on the left camouflage sleeves?

Nice catch! :) Yes,on the left sleeve of the Pea Dot pattern there were indeed eagles(although not all),but on the Oak Leaf pattern a more educated member on the FOW web page pointed out that there were not.I decided to keep it on the oak leaf as well as the historically correct Pea Dot because I like the visual. ;)  :beer:

The pic with the collar tabs should be removed. EDIT: Has happened, so cheers!

Excellent work, apart from that legal nitpick.

@Everyone
Ty very much! :phatgrin:

@Grenadier Christian
Ty,I\'m glad you liked the mini\'s. :)

Did you notice something missing from the heading of this thread?On the collar tab is that a SS marking or is it a Heer tab?Hard to tell from my perspective and deliberate.The models in question have two collars and I painted it with a divide to satisfy both historical players (one collar)and those sensative to the law(two collars).Tough one that,but at 15mm is easier then 28mm due to the difficulty to seperate the two at this scale.This enabled me to make the collar what you wish to think it is,but it is not clearly shown and can be argued both ways.This was on purpose as I was aware I would be posting on this forum and some might object.It\'s intent is a wargamer showing off his toys and has no political stance behind it and this was taken into account when painting. ;)  :)

Cheers
Christopher

P.S.If my explanation still does not satisfy you,I\'ll remove the pic and replace it with another.It will be shame as I wanted to show all 4 sides,but I wish to avoid any arguments on this subject ,because this topic has been talked into the ground on another thread.If your curious on my views then look up the thread.I\'ve forgotten the title,but it talks about the law  and symbols of the Third Reich.I\'m sure a moderator can refer you to it.I\'m flexible and will remove it if you need me too,but please think over my explanation. :)

Christian, meinst Du die Kragenspiegel? Ich konnte da beim besten Willen nichts erkennen.

Ja, speziell vorderes rechtes Base auf dem zweiten Bild von Oben - vielleicht seh ich auch Gespenster, aber ich erkenne da Siegrunen. Ich weiß, vll. übertreib ich es auch, aber beim derzeitigen Abmahnwahn der deutschen Anwaltschaft kann man nicht vorsichtig genug sein.

@To anyone it may concern

Picture #2 has been removed and replaced with another photo.Those that wish to see the right side of the regiment should look into FOW Gallery underneath the same heading of The Third Reich\'s Dark Knights.I\'m sorry if this is an inconvience for some,but I wish to avoid conflict on this thread.I hope this then meets the standard of any offended parties.I\'m a wargamer and I wish to leave it there.
