Very Nice,
What colour do you use for tires?

Hi Zippy:

I'm not a fan of black. I use Coat d'Arms Iron Gray.It's a dark bluish gray. A lot of my collection is second hand. They also use a dark gray with a highlight. If they used black i paint over it.

Sorry for the crappy photos, I was too lazy to get out my light box today.....

Here are a few more odds and ends for my German army.

Thanks Mark
I am also refurbishing some of my old stuff, and the black does not look right, I went nuts and stripped hundreds of pieces and I have a lot of unopened stuff that stills needs painting. Primed a whole lot in the last week.
Got my Italians and Brits for North Africa base coated, Trying a new colour for the Brits.

Sorry about the monster photo!

I built a new light box and I'm still monkeying around with how to get it all set correctly for good photos. These are pretty crappy but better than the last batch. I'll keep at it....

Looks lilke you could use a light source coming from behind the camera, the fronts of the vehicles are dark /shaded. Nice paint jobs!

regards,
Leif

Yeah, this morning I'm playing around with putting my light sources in different places. Will definitely need to tinker to get the quality I'm looking for....
