Hi all,


A question........ I probably should know but I honestly don't. What colour were the Wermacht uniform belts and straps? Black or Brown ?..............and were officers and enlisted the same colour?


Thanks.

I always do in a dark gray with black outline, so that they will pop out some what, ;)


but have seen them in browns as well,


this may help as well,

Thanks Monica. Much appreciated. I think Black is the way forward. Outlining is probably a bit beyond me as these little fellas are small enough and I'm a beginner with figures......... To be honest I wouldn't have bothered with them. But the 251 I'm building (albeit slowly) really does need them.

glad to help, ;)


as you mostly only see there backs,spend more time on that part,


as the figures have great detail,and are nicely out lined,paint there,


uniforms ,then the straps ,in a dark gray/black,and once dry,give


a wash or two,with,black and that will drop to the lowest point,and


pickup as high lite, :smiling3:

Hi. Most German uniform webbing is actually brown, usually a very dark brown so it's easily mistaken for black. The most notable exception being the SS dress uniform. If it's field uniforms though it's dark brown. Here are some examples
