Colditz - the board game upgrade
The French Tunnel Escape gets started
These will probably get swapped out when I get better french miniatures but for now these are the first draft. I went for more civilian as there were french politicians in there, but having looked at pictures it looks like quite a few french officers were in there too…
For paint I used a generic skin tone, oak brown and used the new ultramarine contrast paint, which did a quick job.
To make them more french I decided to add the flag where I could, just to give it a quick identifier when on the board game table as I am worried there will be too many drab colours
These are half done I will probably paint the base in the french tricolour again to add a ‘pop’ from a top down view.
If it looks good I may re-paint the polish bases in the same manner (i fear the british bases might be too hard)
French POW 1
French POW 2I like adding in the french flag in places as I like that it symbolises subtle resistance (or the larger subterfuge going on) which seemed to fit the idea of the game (and from what I’ve read – which is filtered down to “Annoy the guards as much as possible”
