From Jake - 28mm WWII German Infantry

KALT

This is my first entry for this years painting challenge. I was inspired by TFL's Operation Winter Storm, The Drive For Stalingrad December 1942. So I started with four winter Germans from  the Artizan range.
It was also a good chance to try out the crushed glass I obtained from the Scenery Workshop


The Panther from Corgi is a bit out of place because the production of the Ausf D only began in January 1943. But is such a lovely model and the only German winter vehicle I got. What would have happened if it had been available for Operation Winterstorm?

  7. Lovely job Jake! I would say the crushed glass worked beautifully for snow effects.You were able to create what you wanted, where you wanted it and it looks perfectly nautural.

    Well done!

  12. Looking good!

    I've never heard of this crushed / ground glass, in fact I'd never used any snow basing before this Challenge. I'll have to buy some of that which you've used.
