My First Micor Armor

Well, I started painting up some of my Micro-Amro for Flames of WAr in half scale. I did the Germans first and think they look passable. The Russians are better though still pretty basic. Feedback welcomed and encouraged. BTW that last shot is a CD tray lined with magnet - my preferred storage and transpoer devide.

T28s

KV1s

T34s

German Command Vehicles

Those look great. Many times better than my first microarmor and quite possibly better than my current stuff.

They look good to me, too. Better than my first attempts, if not my current ones.

Those Russkies show a real deft hand with the weathering. Very nice.

As to the Germans ... well, they're just for target practice anyways, aren't they? Paint 'em up, shoot 'em down. Works for me.

Bravo!

I especially like the T-28s, T-35s and KVs!

Your choice of green looks wonderful and accurate. Bases are good too.

One small crit - the flash lines could use a small clean-up as your excellent photo work reveals them in the pics. Normally these wont show up on the game table but it will make your models a wee bit more kick-butt-ski!

Good Job!

Great job Extra Crispy! Good shading and highlighting all around. I do echo Troy's comments about the mold seam lines but they look better than my initial batch that I did umteen years ago.

Those are quite nice (great photos as well!).

I wonder if you've experimented with black or black-brown ink wash on the Germans tuff (arty and Pzr 4s)? That might put some more shadow on the tanks and cuase the detail to pop at bit.

But those are very nice!
