I'm probably not going to anything related to German Med forces soon and I could use the funds, so these are going up for sale.

This is a very well painted unit, that could function as an almost complete battalion in Rapid Fire (minus one MMG) or a platoon for skirmishing. It consists of a core of SHQ figures for the special weapons, complemented by the Revell DAK set. The metal figs are all in good condition, but a small number of the plastic figures have some slight chipping damage. I will give them another coat of varnish before I send them off.

44 figures including a mortar, an MMG and a PAK 97/38 gun.

100 euros including standard P&P to Europe.

Damn, if I had the money, I'd just put those on my book shelf.
Look great in the pics.

I don't mean to brag, but the photos actually don't get across the paintjobs very well. Everything has been carefully highlighted, so they actually look much better in the flesh (or metal, whatever :lol: ).

Well, it was a bit of a shock when I found of that my new smartphone actually takes better pictures than the Fujifilm camera I bought specifically to photograph my miniatures with. Disappointed in Fujifilm, amazed by Samsung! :grin:

So I decided to take some new pictures of my DAK figures, which I haven't managed to sell yet. I think these pics do them a lot more justice, so hopefully they will find a new home soon. I also managed to finally retrieve the four DAK vehicles I have from the storage box, so they are now included in the deal.

Opening the URL's separately will reveal even more detail.

44 figures from Revell and SHQ including a mortar, an MMG and a PAK 97/38 gun, Italeri Opel Blitz, 2 Revell PzIII's, 1 Hasegawa PzIV.

€ 140 including p&p to Europe (outside EU will be a bit more).

Err, they been painted about 4 or 5 years a go, so I'm not completely sure. The green uniforms at least, were probably done with a base of GW Catachan Green, highlighted with VMC Russian Uniform Green. The lighter green uniforms? Perhaps VMC Green Brown highlighted with Khaki? The Yellow is most likely Desert Yellow or Yellow Ochre highlighted with Dark Sand.

Hope this helps. Sorry you won't take them off my hands. ;)
