Studio Ausbildings Company: Part One
with the Battlefront Studio
Last
month the Battlefront NZ studio had the crazy idea of painting a German
Ausbildungs Panzerkompanie from Desperate Measures. Each person took on one
tank and painted it in a 12 hour painting session. Over the next few weeks we
will be showcasing each of the platoons in the company with some close-ups of
each staff member's tank, and a little insight into how they achieved their
result.
Some of the staff were done well under time, while others used the full time
(and maybe a little extra), but this what makes painting an Ausbildungs company
great: the company can look mismatched and pulled together. Some tanks were
training tanks, others were veteran tanks that had managed to stay running this
late in the war. The staff were free to paint their tank however they liked.
Some of us are great tabletop painters; efficient and get lots of armies on the
table. Others are more detail and weathering oriented, so it was nice to see a
wide range of painting styles all come together into one company.

A company was made from Desperate Measures with the
goal of having 12 tanks for our 11 painters, and with as much of a mix as
possible. We decided to go with the Panzer Ausbildungs Abteilung 500
(Replacement Heavy Tank Force) Company. Once the list was made each staff
member chose a tank to paint, with one exception. One tank was to be painted by
the whole team (more on that in the coming weeks). Here is what the army looks
like:
Stay tuned as next week we'll get a close look at the company HQ and the Tiger
I E platoon. |
