The Green Devils of Carentan(Fallschirmäger in 15mm)(Update 24.11 )

(1/9) > >>

Axebreaker:
Hello folks this is the project that has had me busy for the past
couple of weeks as they are very difficult to paint.I thought 28mm
Fallschirmjäger were hard......well think again Ladies and Gentlemen!I spent quite a bit of time pulling my hair,gnashing my teeth and cursing enough to make Blackbeard blush! :verrueckt: That said I am pleased with the end result and that in itself gives you more motivation to do some more.
These are 15mm Fallschirmjäger and are based on the same unit as my 28mm Fallschirmjäger only for Flames of War.So the background is exactly the
same if you want to read again up on their history.
I also painted them similar and again took some artistic license by adding Luftwaffe blue pants and helmets here and there along with Splinter pattern,Marsh pattern and the standard German Fieldgray.However,this time I left off the Tropical pants.Some have gaiters and others do not as was
typical of late war Fallschirmjäger units.
Some of you may have noticed I also painted up a weapons canister which by this time they were no longer doing active para jumps,but I included one as it both adds to the atmosphere of being Fallschirmäjer and for a sense of completeness.
Well,I hope some of you enjoy the pics! :)
Note on the base:The pictures are a bit brighter then real life where the models blend in more.I did this to get get a better contrast between the ground and the figures.The result is a base that looks more reddish then it actually is,although it does have a brown reddish tinge to it just not as intense.

Whow! This is really an amazing level of detail for a 15mm  mass army :thumbup:

The only thing I would reconsider is the colour of the earth. It looks quite reddish (Mars?  ;)) Or is this an effect of the camera?

Tellus:
Great job, they\'re worth all the gnashing and cursing :thumbup: :thumbup:

Axebreaker:
Thank you guys. :)

Actually the base is a shade darker in real life and the models blend in a bit more,but I wanted the pictures pretty bright to get a contrast between the ground and miniatures to better able one to see them.That said,the earth of the base has a slight reddish tinge which is really quite common here in Europe.I had to shovel mounds of red clay off my tank from right here in Germany when I served in the military. ;)
