Bolt Action Oberland Freikorps: Update



This is how far I've got with my Oberland Freikorps for Bolt Action.

I have so far:

Lt Gruber

Sergeant Spotter: with field telephone.

Heavy Armoured Car: captured Russian Garford-Putilov with 3 MMGs and a light howitzer in a rear turret.

Light Armoured Car: scratchbuilt form a Times Gone Past diecast toy.

Self Propelled Gun: light howitzer on an unarmoured toy lorry.

Rifle section: ex-stormtroopers with rifles, smgs and hand grenades from Great War Miniatures.

For those who care about such things, the pic is a five second exposure in a dimly-lit North European room with a large south-facing window rebalanced by Paint-Shop Pro to get rid of the worst of the colour shifts.







The same picture using a TTL flash on full Nikon auto bounced off the rear ceiling, lightly adjusted with PSP.






As above but using heavy light saturation by bouncing the flash of the close, left-hand, white, side wall. Brightness reduced by PSP.

Anyone have a preference?










Oberland Freikorps



Sticking with an interwar theme for the moment, here is Lt Gruber and his electronic warfare specialist from the Bavarian Oberland Freikorps.

Sorry, N. European light in winter is a pain to photograph miniatures in, low levels and on the horizon, but I hope you can distinguish something.

The models are actually Great War Stormtroopers which tended to be where the Freikorps got their recruits.
