Benwlundy Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm struggling for want of knowledge...lol...I'm working on a Nazi zombie miniature from Reaper, but I'm not entirely sure about his grip on his back.,.I'm not sure I know what colors are accurate or even what everything is...I see a potato masher, a duffle, a canteen...maybe a bag for carrying ammo...If I do the officer in a standard SS black uniform, what color should all this paraphernalia be? Any accurate guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Thanks Ben 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SisterMaryNapalm Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) You can be helped! Equipment was mostly standardized. Check here for some ideas: Ausrüstung Waffen SS Ausrüstung Waffen SS II Ausrüstung der Wehrmacht (German Website) But let's go through it: From left to right: Stielhandgranate (Stick Grenade) Gasmaskenbehälter (Gas Mask Case (Or Container) Brotbeutel (Bread Bag- often used for carrying more stuff then just bread. This one looks quite small, but it is not an ammo pouch - though it contains some reserve ammo. That's for sure) Feldflasche (Water Canteen - in fur coverage and with a drinking pot on it.) Note that there is no real advice on how to paint those items, as there were different pieces made to adept for different war theatres and different versions as war progressed. Redesigns, use of different materials and quality variations makes it quite hard to give you a good adivce, but I think the links and pictures should provide a good idea on the colours.
