WW1 Italians

The latest of my Great War units out of their box for a bit of a touch up...


This is an engineer company, I used the flame thrower nozzle from the Airfix WW1 German set to give these a bit more detail


Weapons Company


Will try for some better pictures once they've all had a paint-work touch-up


Another rifle company


Several of the figures had backpacks added from Green-stuff for a bit of variety


The whole battalion is four rifle companies, a weapons company and an attached engineer company, most of the figures are by Waterloo 1815. As usual I have a few other projects on the go but this is all I have to show you for now

  1. I like the poses on those guys and nicely done on adding those backpacks. Details like that make a huge difference.

  4. Hi Al,

    I’m commenting to let you know about a competition we’re running for model makers and hobbyists on our site www.benchvent.com

    In a nutshell we’re asking model makers to send us a picture of their workshop/work area to be in with a chance of winning one of our Exagon Spray traps - http://www.benchvent.com/industrial/bv555-r-multi-positional-spray-trap

    They’re ideal for use in workshops and home model making areas because they’re designed to extract the maximum amount of potentially hazardous particulates and chemicals so to help create more awareness of the product we thought we’d give one away!

    In terms of how to enter, you just have to get a photo of your workspace to us. We’ll be printing off the entries we receive once the competition closes and then pulling a winner at random from a hat. (We think that makes it the fairest way!)

    Full details of the competition are here: http://www.benchvent.com/blog/show-us-your-workspace-and-win-an-exagon-r/

    I hope you are interested in entering and we’d appreciate any help you can give us to help promote the competition be it with a blog post on your site (where you can include your entry) or sharing it on any of your social profiles.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

    Kind regards,

    Scott

  5. A much neglected army during the Great war. Nice for you, you made such a wonderful job Al. :)

  6. I missed this post when you posted it, but I couldn't resist commenting, as I always wanted to make a ww1 italian army. I didn't buy those waterloo figures because I didn't like them at first. Your good paint job really redeemed them, though.
