PANZER GRENADIERS

The Panzer granadiers platoons are finished 2 in all along with another 24 figures with an additional 4 panzer fausts and two more machine gun teams. The idea being that I can field these as additional teams to the Panzer platoons or keep them as a Ost platoon.

I think the mixture of Plastic Soldier Company, Zvezda and Pegasusus minis compliment each other well.

These guys have been sat on my desk for ages and I have not got much painting done over the last few weeks. Had a slight hiccup with the half tracks and armour, and had to start back to base coat. All that remains on the infantry side now is a couple of heavy mortars in dug outs and the command sqauds for each platton. Have also got anti infantry and anti tank guns to add to the support options andperhaps some trucks for transport.

The mixture of uniforms and boots also add to the realism of the units, towards the end of the war most units were equipped with more greener and darker uniforms, only veterans and older personel would probably have some of the ealier bluey grey issue left. The jackboots were also replaced with shorter boots and gaiters, again the few individuals were still to be seen wearing the older issue kit.

Hope you like and plese comment and shareyour thoughts.
