Nearly finished my 15mm British Platoon and to help me
with the painting I bought ,” The World War II Tommy”
by Martin Brayley and Richard Ingram and what an excellent
book it is. I have read and owned a couple of uniform guide
books before but this just leaves everything else behind.
Rich, colour photographs and loads of them covering all
uniforms between 1939-45 plus detailed descriptions of all
the kit and weapons. It even covers hospital clothing.
I found this book especially helpful for identifying what
exactly the bit of equipment you are painting as 15mm figures
have tiny bits on them(when sprayed with a black base coat
it makes things even harder to make out). What also stands
out is the photographs themselves. They have been modelled
perfectly with WWII back drops and if turned to black and
white would be hard to distinguish from the real thing.
This book is the one stop resource for everything British
for the painter, modeller and wargamer.
Hope he plans to do a German and American book next 🙂
