I know some members here collect 1/72 Dragon tanks. I painted these soldiers from Pegasus for my 1/72 tanks.

They are the size of a quarter.

Nice job Alex.They look great.Someday I'm going to attempt painting a few myself.I see Build a Rama is starting to supply 1/72 diorama pieces.Do you collect the Cyber Hobby exclusives also?The new Russian T-34 from Dragon is a nice edition from all the German releases,although I eagerly await the Hummel and Nashorn.I'm hoping to attend the Atlanta Dragon expo in July which will have its own exclusive German tank release.
Can you provide a list of paints you used for these particular soldiers?

I use field grey for the pants and flat earth for the base of the smock. Then the camoflauge is olive green, buff and green. I use a small paint brush and toothpick to paint these. The only cyber hobby I have is the Wittman Tiger. I have twenty other tanks but I too am waiting for the Hummel, Stug and halftracks.

I paint them in stages so I'm not sure how long it takes. I guess for one it takes like 15 to 20 minutes. I'm not crosseyed yet.

Great work, and a lot of work to paint those figures. Are the FOV 1/72 figures out yet? I have fallen behind on my Dragon Armor collecting since getting into K&C.

The 1/72 FOV figs should be coming soon. I've fallen behind too but i'm not planning on catching up because there are so many of them. I'll just get a good variety.

Those look splendid! I have had so many WW2 collections in various scales, but with the availability of the predone armor and all thats out there in 1/72 it's very tempting to start another collection! There is so much available it drives me crazy!
Excellent job with the troops! Camo is difficult, or more just tedium and getting a system down.You did great on the 1/72.
WW2 troops many think would be easy to paint. Not so, if you want them to look right, it can be more than a little tricky.Same with say Plains Indians. You would think it easier than painting Napoleonics or something. Nope, to get that earthy natural look can be difficult.
French Blue is French blue.
Khahki, od's , light od's, drabs, webbing, gaiters,ect, all just a liddle different.

I just finished some 25mm WWII guys. Maybe I'll post some pics later but I would like to see how 1000 figures looks like. I would probably have a 1000 or more 25mm figs if I was a wargamer but I just collect what catches my eye in the 25mm world.
