Ooh La La!

Patria AMV, one with .50, the other with KTO Rosomak configuration. I used black primer, probably need to go back to grey.
Vehicles seem too dark.

I was excited to share a pic of some vehicles that I finished, but then I realized that they aren’t really done yet. So I guess this is a work in progress pic! Here is a pair of M4A3E8s that I have been working on. These are the first ever 1/285 scale decals I have applied to a model (I ruined a couple in the process) so I was pretty excited to get them on there, but the shading really sucks on these, so I think I’m going to try another wash before I move on.

I applied a black wash, and then I did a dry brush, but I think I either thinned the wash too much or I went way too heavy on the dry brush.

I was pretty indecisive at first about the decals. I’m doing these with the Korean War in mind, and I found photos with a lot of variation in the placement and size of the stars on US tanks during the war. The upside is that it’s hard to be wrong with where I put the stars!

I got the last 3 Shermans from this pack base coated, as well as a pack of Pershings. I’ll post some pics of the next batch and we’ll see if I can do any better!

Nice! That reminds me to get started on my small Jordanian force for '67. Now if only I could remember where I put those infantry? :roll:
