They look great, Chris. The gray green just looks like an older paint job that has bleached out and flattened in the sun. The black and tan highlights shoukd be seoarated, however, and of different pattern application. The sand is in longer, uneven, and irregular lines while the black more of a splat.

Pictures, Guys, There are lots of pictures on the internet. They make good references.

Logistical support in MERDC.

I have 5 Abrams I stripped that I need to paint. Want another 5 to complete the battalion.

The 2 center B-2 Bradleys have styrene in antenna position.
Probably use these as M-3 scouts.

Gentlemen gamers, thank you. I may need to try it with a flash, outside or some other approach for some pics.
Y'all inspire me, motivate my painting.

Looking good Chris, always room for more, MV Tim Horton is almost there.
It Should keep you busy over the Holidays.

I did try an outdoor photo this morning of my new Imber Unit (Mech Inf) in their Winter cammo.
Didn't work out that well! Or maybe it did.

And that is a big patio table.

Mick,
We did conduct airborne attacks on the MV Horton. Also some sub attacks, too.
What are you doing with all the baby powder or flour?
How did you get it to stack so high straight up? Did you use glue?
Us Florida boys don’t understand.

You stayed up LATE, Chris. You talked to me on the phone until 2200. You also worked fast! Must have had your 1/285 paint crew scrambling! Did you threaten to eat them if they didnt get it done?

Time to organize em into battalions.
