German paratrooper battalions finished!

Hi, here are my finished German paratroopers ready to jump above Great-Britain during operation Sealion or to defend the dense bocages of Normandy! All the miniatures are Airfix or cheap reproduction of these.

The basing is done as always,

1) Base the miniatures on a harboard base.
2) Smear some filler on the base for some texture.
3) Add some sand for a fine structure, with PVA.
4) Paint the base in a brown tone.
5) Drybrush the first layer with a lighter brown tone.
6) Add some static grass with PVA.

Here are the pictures,


The two battalions with their commanders on the left side, next to the commanders you can see the three american snipers for my AA battalion.


A close up, they won't win any contests but they're ready for some gaming.

Greets,
