Greetings everyone.
I have been a longtime microarmour fan and I must say a lot of the photos posted in this forum have inspired me greatly to continue building up my own microarmour collection. I decide that it is time for me to stop lurking in the forum but contribute as well. So here they are , pictures of my budding German Panzer Division. As much as i tried to, i just can't do a decent camo paintjob so please forgive the bland grey german panzers and grunts :D

I think you are doing just fine. They look good.

David,
The camo is great, looks superb. What colors did you use?

Whurniawan,
Looks great., keep going. Multi color for WW2 German, could be the mustard-yellow, then paint with green and reddish… in the field there was not a specific pattern or camo-scheme.
How much are your bases per base? Just an idea, use a penny for the infantry. The cost can be determined specifically. There is not any sales tax on the penny. Cost per penny base is 1 cent. Could consider not basing you vehicles unless you have a larger base to protect the barrel. I do not base except for a few specific items, like a command group 3-4 TOCs.

thank you guys for the kind words :D
@chrisswim,
A word about the bases i used. i had originally thought about using pennies but i found them to be to thin for me to handle. I dont like to touch my miniatures directly so prefer to hold them by the base. this is the same reason why i base my tanks. but appreciate your suggestion.
As for the camo paintjob, Its not that i m doubtful about the color pallete. I just dont know how to paint those freestyle pattern if you know what i mean. its just our of my "comfort zone" you see. but one day i swear!

Wkurniawan,
Makes sense to me, others apply same idea on handling and/or painting.

Nice work wkurniawan. I have a question about you acrylic bases. What type of glue did you use? I notice you don't have the white cloudy effect I get when I use super glue on acrylic. It might not be the glues fault but my technique. Either way you don't seem to have that issue. I like the idea of a clear base because you don't have to worry about matching the terrain because you see it through the base.

Stop…HEMTT Time! I finished up 11 HEMTTs this weekend – 8 fuelers and 3 wreckers. That’s a total of 99 wheels for those keeping count (and I was definitely counting).

These are going to my 9th ACR project. The fuelers and 1 wrecker are for 2nd Squadron HHT, and the other 2 wreckers are for 3rd Squadron.
