Blitzkrieg Germans Painting Guide
A perfect guide to starting your early war period German army with clear & detailed step-by-step descriptions and full colour photographs. Ideal for anyone new to painting or experienced painters looking for an extra piece of inspiration.
It takes you through painting your typical German Heer (army) infantryman, and a vehicle with one of the most iconic silhouettes of the war – the SdKfz251/1 Ausf C ‘Hanomag’.
Each guide covers one of the main Bolt Action protagonists – Britain, Germany, USA, the Soviet Union, Italy and France – and presents a detailed step-by-step guide to painting both standard infantrymen and tanks. Including tips on undercoating, base coats, washes, highlighting and basing, these guides are ideal for beginners and experienced painters alike.
