Excellent Ratel's Chris, bashing in the bush camo looks just right.

350Z, first class mate, thank you for posting.

Next in the line up of to-do projects.

Impressive. I need to build my Swedish coastal artillery units. Do you mind sharing how you kitbashed the launchers?

Holy smokes! Where did you get all the commander positions? Did you snip all of them off of other vehicles?

I have bought the stems of the Abrams TUSK, perhaps 20 stems which is 60 of the armored bucket, when I placed my last order.

Love the Abrams line up, always so satisfying seeing a proper mass of armour like that!

I've been making some more progress on my Germans, now with some camouflage making an appearance. Quite a challenge to do it convincingly at this scale but very happy with how they turned out. Managed to get the photos more colour accurate this time too which is a plus!

Got a few more coming along before I order another round of models, might do some less "parade ready" paint jobs on the next ones as well. See if I can do some nice weathering at 6mm, always looking for another challenge!

Stenna00 it is indeed Vallejo! Quite appropriately German C. Beige (70.821) to be precise, highlighted up to pure Beige (70.917) to make it really pop.

BurtWolf that's great to hear, would love to see how they come out too! Little bit of a learning curve to the Contrast I found but I'm happy I added them to my kit now I've got the hang of them.

As always all comments and criticisms greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Chris

It's a tactical drone, with a platoon with four UAV's belonging to a brigade's intelligence company, or attached to an Apache helicopter battalion.

Amazing work Chris on those Germans - it is really mind blowing. My foray into contrasts leaves much to be desired compared to that work of art haha!!

Ben - nice work and love the UAS- always a fan of a good kit bash!
