Please could somebody point me in the right direction of a chart chart for these great figures. I have two German infrantry figures waiting to be painted. I would like the colour chart to have the spanish paints Valljio [or something like that] because i have just started using these and find them great to use.

Any help would be great, thanks

Matt

You can also have a look at Pete Becerra's excellent SBS (in Vallejo) over on Historicus Forma.

Here you go: Painting 3 Types of German WWII Camouflage

BTW, which Alpine figures are you painting?

Hey there!
Today I got the Osprey Modelling book mentioned by Jim.
Kind of a late christmas present :-)
Anyway, i can only agree with Jim, it really IS invaluable.
In my opinion the best book on figure modelling from the
Osprey Modelling range, (well, there are only three of them so far...)
if not even the best at all.
Cheers,
Richard

If you think that one's good you should read the recent Falschrimjager book...
