Germans

Small German command set for Flames of War/15mm
First time attempting a camo pattern by hand on 15mm vehicles. I tried a couple years ago with an airbrush on some German tanks. Turned out decent but I had used an ink over them and ended up repainting them.
 I think it came out pretty decent for first attempt. If anything I think I need to not make as big of lines with the camo paint. Maybe flare them as well a bit more.
Debated on painting the guys to put in the back of these transports. Finally decided not to. Mainly cause I already have 4 German transports with the guys in them so figured it would be easy to use these with no guys to pick out the difference between transports and just "gun" trucks.
Not to much with the Germans. They were one of the first armies I painted when I got into 15mm WW2. so in order to keep them all looking the same I didn't do much to them. Debated this for a while. Finally realized I'm to OCD to have some of an army be different looking so kept it the same paint scheme back when I was first painting 15mm. If I do some Africa or winter troops then I'll change it up.

Some German WW2

Finally finished my Ramsh's Charge box set. Not a bad box set to get some infantry, tanks and transports all at once in PLASTIC!!!
Here is the infantry. Some how I lost a base and have to wait for a replacement to show up. So wasn't able to fully base all of them.
I unfortunately didn't enjoy painting these guys as much as the US infantry I painted earlier.  I had a hard time finally choosing the paints I was going to use as well.
Now for the tanks and Half tracks. I was using an airbrush for the camo. Pretty sure I used the wrong wash as it really made the tanks look dark and dirty. However the airbrush lines were pretty thick as well
Doesn't look very historical accurate also not 100% sure I like how it turned out
They do look pretty good though for a camo woodland look I think.
