Somthing that helps alot with hard to reach areas is using a method of painting i learned years ago from the warhammer studio painting team, Paint "inside out" ie paint the most irritating areas to reach first before anything else. On germans this is 90 percent of the time the back of the neck and the inside of the collar and the inside of the hands. I painted the block colours on those and the smock sleeves/collar and or face cover scarf if they have one at the same time and highlighted those areas up to completion more or less before doing anything else. Same applies for really any other awkward areas. Not having them stuck to their base can help too. Pin-paper clip in the foot and stuck into corks and you get a little bit more range with your paintbrush. With other miniatures i might actually leave arms off that block detail on the chest or even leave the heads off but theres soooo much infantry with bolt action and the gaps between the arms and body make that semi impossible or not convenient.
I went with Army painter's Elf green as as my base colour for the smock, my patter is Jungle green & Monster brown. I than added spots of black & Desert yellow. On some figs I used Strong tone as the was & on other I used Dark tone to get some variation.
Exactly Graham it's not a show piece or a exhibition it's just getting a piece on the playing board that your happy with iv seen people take ages just on one piece and would take an age just to get an army together (what's the point)

Nice one Jacques 👍 if I expand my ss I may look at different colours, as you say for variation 😁👍
Nice job i paint till I'm happy with the look and that's it they are playing pieces not works of art
