About the Project
The Deutsches Afrikakorps, also known as the DAK, was the German expeditionary force in Africa during the North Africa campaign. They were initially sent to aid the Italian forces who were already deployed there after they lost ground against the British forces. With subsequent reinforcements, the DAK eventually pushed the British back and thus started a tug-of-war over the Western Desert. And so my project begins - German Deutsches Afrika Korps

Had a catastrophic brain fart..... decide I wanted to have a go using GSW crackle paint..... what a muppet
Had a catastrophic brain fart….. decide I wanted to have a go using GSW crackle paint (which looks really cool BTW)….. what a Muppet!!
Ordered more tiny fighting men – eight more riflemen and 4 two man LMG teams from Artizan Designs. But as I want to maintain some consistency with my existing minis which are all based on WG plastic bases (yes @Lloyd I should have used 2 p’s but I have loads of plastic bases) I had to snip of the excess and file down the extra metal on the bases (I AM A MASOCHIST AND A MUPPET) which was a bit tedious. That’s all done for the riflemen so they’re based and primed. Base painting to start soon.
Some pics below
The Riflemen
1st squad decided to use metal minis
Actually more like 3 squads. 25 rifles, 7 MP40s and 2 LMGs. Plus 2 Rommel’s. All Artizan Designs (except for one of the Rommel’s that’s Warlord). All based and ready for priming.
Basing a MMG
Started another MMG, step by step basing using Rawlplug Plastic Wood filler Team this time.
Some more base colouring then applied a soft tone wash
For the boots, water bottle, holster and other leather items: VJ 984 Flat Brown
Bread bag: VJ 821 German Camo Beige
Then applied a soft tone wash all over
Ivory white for the walls on the Pak 38 5cm and the MMG. Also used this as a base for the googles, the bandage and cross on the medics helmet.
Colours used previously
Uniform: VJ 924 Russian Uniform
Helmet/Gas mask canister: Army Painter Desert yellow (this stage has already been done by the spray primer)
Forgot the gaiters 🙁 going to use VJ 821 German Camo Beige
