PARTISANS 28 mm

While prepping my next lot of French Indian war miniatures, I painted these 28mm Partisans  from Warlord games. 

I picked these up on the cheap last years at MOAB gaming convention  bring and buy store.

I thought they would be great for gaming a special mission scenario, teaming up with some British Paras or Commandoes; lovely defined metal models to paint.

Partisans chasing out the last German remnant from the village. 

The whole section with a variety of weapons.

The female figure is the sections Junior Leader.

I really didn't like this figure so I decided to improve it by  removing the skirt and trimming away the socks on the original Warlord games figure and reshaping them into trousers.

FRENCH CIVILIANS 28mm and DRINK CABINET

Took advantage of a  RDO (rostered day off from work ) today to work on more items for CANCON.

The first,  German Shabby Trick Two; Civilians, which will come in play with the "glider landings' scenario. 

For the British, the Drink Cabinet which will be available in "crossing the canal" scenario after a Stuka attack, one of the  bombs lands short of its  target building and uncovers a stash of "Vino". 

These items are specific for early war action from the  Chain of Command Blitzkrieg 1940  handbook.

Painted figures just prior to basing.

The metal figures are from Berlin or Bust miniatures.

Figures super glued on 60 mm plastic base and Milliput added and set aside to dry.

painted the bases.

 

Added the flock.

Completed civilians

My take on the wine cabinet, instead of using a actual cabinet I would have thought the French would have hid their precious wines  by burying them in the garden.

 

First step  make the wooden crates and build up a mount of earth around the crates with plastic sprue  on a plastic base.

Using Milliput build up the earth around the crates.

Make the lids of the crates and roll out wine bottle again using the Milliput .

Once the Milliput is set, super glue all the items and prime with Black Undercoat. Paint  and apply a gloss vanish over the bottles to give them a shine.
