Das Brot brechen - France 1940

Some progress on the painting over the holiday weekend. 


A close up of the NCO reading his palm. He seems to be contemplating what is missing from his life.....


......Ah! Yes, the answer.

Das Brot brechen - France 1940

Spent the better half of this morning composing the contents of the cart with various accessories from Miniart to resemble a street blockade. The great thing about multi figure projects is that it allows one to develop people skills ;P

Das Brot brechen - France 1940

Not much progress over the week with the exception of the painting of the cognac crates and bottles.

Hitting the Bottles Tonight!

Spent the better half of this evening after work to indulge in some "small" beverages from Miniart. I felt that the wood grain on the crates were a tad over done for that scale and thus decided to fill them with some water based modelling putty from AK Interactive. The painting was done with Gen 3 acrylics and weathering pencils also from AK Interactive.

Das Brot brechen - France 1940

Reshaped the contour of the helmet and sculpted a new hand holding the frying pan. Never mind thinking out of the box; here comes eating out of the pan.

 A little more progress over the weekend.


Rebuilt the Kar 98 ammo pouches and added a zeltbahn sculpted from epoxy putty for the figure seated on the ground.
