Nationalist Support Troops

This week I have been painting up some supports for the Moroccan Regulares that I painted up whilst in Cornwall last month.

First up is a Empress Panzer IA that James gave me for painting some figures for him. I have done it in Nationalist colours. I decided that to help with transportation I wanted to base this one.

I have also added a pair of Nationalist 50mm Mortars, again from Empress Miniatures, the colours used on these were.

• Trousers, jackets, puttees, great coats - German Uniform
• Shirts - Light Green Blue
• Knapsacks - Tan Earth
• Straps - Black
• Piping - Red
• Shoes - Pale Sand
• Flesh - Medium Fleshtone
• Mortar - German Grey

Once base-coated I gave them a wash of Vallejo Sepia wash and then re-did the base coats and added highlights.

The other two crewman in the packs look more Republican, so I'll use those when I come to add some supports to my Militia.

While I was doing the base for the tank, I also added a base to the Force of Arms Bedford truck I painted a few weeks ago.
