Helle everyone!
I haven't had the time to really get work done on my Panthers, so instead I finished my Airborne platoon. I'm really happy with the result I managed to get, but I surely was reminded why I play a panzer army :-p god I really don't enjoy painting infantry. Painting 28 figures at once nearly killed me, just painting the base colors was so fucking boring, which I why this took so long to finish.

| Base colors painted |
I started by doing the bases and then added all the base colors (so took quite a while for me). Afterwards I did a black wash on everything (except the skin). This added some nice fast shadows.

I then did 2 highlight on all surfaces. First the base color and then base color + white, I like this easy and fairly fast way of painting infantry to a decent standard, it still does take time though.
Overall it was a nice experience painting some allied infantry and I did learn a lot of things, primarily never to prime infantry white.....never. Next infantry project are the panzergrenadiers from the Open Fire set, but got a few other projects I need to do before I will start on these.
Next up are the last 3 shermans and my 5 panthers.
Let's have a few more pictures. (Sorry for a fairly shitty pictures, just got a new camera and really haven't mastered it yet :-p think I might need a better lense for this scale.
Hope you enjoyed reading.
