Great work as always !

What color green was used for the Japanese tanks ?
I have some Vallejo greens and I would like to match the color you used.

Thanks,

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys!

@Begemot - my highlights are a combination of steps: first I drybrush with a lightened base color to hit all the fine raised detail. Then, using a loaded fine-tip brush I touch all the larger raised details like hatch handles, large bolts, etc. My painting definitely favors a high contrast style to stand out from a distance. Up close, it's not as realistic. But, that suits me and I like it

@Nepty - for the green tank, I actually sprayed it with Testors SAC Green rattle can, then used a Vallejo Dark Green wash over the top. For the green Camo on the khaki tank I used Vallejo Reflective Green.

Hope that helps!

I’ve got a few new photos up on my Instagram feed of what I’ve got on my work bench. Still slowly working on more cruisers for the Solomons

Excellent looking ships and vehicles, Tanner! It definitely looks like you are back at it as strong as ever. It is good to have you back on the Forum.

For a second I thought that was a shot of the worlds greatest chess set! Amazing work, Tanner!

Wow I thought the same thing about the chess set haha! Cool set up and even cooler minis. Awesome to see the work in progress. Explain your set up if you will, are the clips removable from the pegs?

Thank guys! Making a GHQ chess set would be cool!

@Burtwolf - these are paint handles that I designed and 3D printed. Each handle slides out of the base so I have a handle while painting the miniature. I designed a hole at the top of the handle that I glue an alligator clip into, these hold the ships/tanks/etc.
