| This is the company command and the 2iC. The command figures are Battlefront from the Open Fire set. The panzerschreck team and the snipers are metal figures from Peter Pig. I will eventually add the mortars. |
 |
| Grenadier platoon 1. These are all plastic Battlefront figures. I really fell in love with these models while painting them. |
 |
| Platoon 2 is just the same as platoon 1. |
 |
| Platoon three is also Battlefront plastic figures but the panzerschreck team is metal figures from Peter Pig. |
 |
| The grenadier scout platoon is made of Battlefront plastic figures. I had two starter sets worth of models so the extras went to the little platoon. Not sure how useful it will be in the game but I will find out. |
 |
| The HMG platoon is metal Battlefront figures. When I decide to add a second HMG platoon I might use PSC. That would allow me to built two platoons of mortars as well... |
 |
| Battlefront plastic PaK40 platoon from the Open Fire set. These are nice models but a little flimsy on the barrels. Hopefully these hold up on the table. |
 |
| Battlefront NW42 Nebelwerfer battery. The NW41 is probably more common but just about every German army in Flames of War has nebs. |
 |
| German 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer battery. The models are by Battlefront and are really nice. The scenic bases make the painting and assembly a little more challenging but the results a great. In all my years of playing FoW I am not sure I have ever seen German artillery. |
 |
| Opel Blitz 3-ton trucks. These are transports for the gun and artillery platoons. I am pretty sure I will never need more than these 4 trucks. |
 |
| This is a picture of my entire late war German collection. This includes everything from this post as well as all my LW tanks I have painted over the years. No Fallschirmjagers, however. That is a totally different collection. |

Great looking force! Nicely done.
Nice work! I wish I had the time and skill to paint like you do. I really like what you did with the trucks. The canvas cover is superb and having one in grey is a nice touch. I'm stealing the blue windshield idea, btw. Details, details, details - they do make a HUGE difference.
I agree with you about the Battlefront plastic grenadiers. Really nice figures. Easy to work with and for the most part good detail. I reviewed the Battlefront plastic figures at my blog about a month ago. These are the way of the future - at least until 3D printing is really mass market.
You mention the PSC machine guns. As it so happens I did a review on the Plastic Soldier Company late war heavy weapons box with an assembly guide that has more detailed photos. They're both a few years old, but still pretty relevant. Overall the PSC figures are smaller than Battlefront's but I mix and match freely.
Keep up the good work! (I need regular doses of inspiration)
Thanks for the comments and compliments, Nick! I saw your reviews of the plastic figures and have spent quite a bit of time reading them over. Very helpful stuff!
