A couple of things I have been playing around with:

Sherman MK 51

Caunter Scheme

Modern German Armor

Snow Leopards

On the Prowl

Marders in Ambush

Cav:
Nice 'snow leopards', just like the U-tube video.

So where did you find the old M1? When the newer M1 came out, I used these as M1A1, the barrels are thicker. I have used the M1A1 as M1A1 (HA) or M1A1 AIM for the US.

Thank you for posting.

Tanner,

I'm not a ship guy ... but I just had to say how great these look. Very nice job.

Nice pictures, everybody -- thanks for sharing!

And while I enjoy a well-done camouflage paint job, I have to admit to a fondness for the monochromatic schemes; the wonderful details of the castings often get lost in the camouflage schemes. I know that is the job of camouflage -- to help hide something. But I love seeing those fine details!

Wow, that winter terrain looks extremely well done. Do you have any more photos? I think this is the first time I've actually seen Cold War done in winter. I must know more!

I recently made some containers. Here's one on a 5 axle HEMTT. I'm pretty sure I've shown the HEMTT here before ... but if not ... here it is.

P.S. Gregory and Channig ... I know you guys get a lot of requests from customers, but this would be an easy one. Just modify one of your existing HEMTTs to be a 5 axle version so I can stop modifying them and just buy them from you. Please

Allen,

Can you measure the containers L, W, &H for me? I have a project in mind that they would be perfect for but I need to know how much area I'm going to need for the full layout.

I wanted to try out some weathering. These came out better than I expected.

Cav Dog I like your winterized paint scheme, that looks cool.

Allen, sweet containers! they look great. So do your customized 5ax HEMMT's

Nashorn, excellent detailing on your Panzers!

thanks for sharing guys.

Nashorn - I'd say those are some of the best painted figures I've seen. Spot on. Well done - keep it up.

Any details on how you've done them?

Many Thanks,

B

Thanks! I haven't painted in a long time. I need reading glasses and a lens to paint these days but it really easy to get this effect.

1. I spayed a light coat tamiya pazer gray. ( NO primer)
2. let dry in sun for a day.
3. I used a old paint (Citadel brown wash) I had . you can use any brand or make your own. Let it get into all the recess areas. Just make sure it dry fast other wise it will spread out and loose its effect. Don't worry if it does just apply again.
Let the wash dry.
4. Dry brush with a light shade of gray. Just start light until you get the effect you want.
5. Paint in all the details. sliver for the cables, jack, light brown for the wood, red for fire bottles,white for any lights,red brown or gray for the tracks... etc
I know who would have a silver showing in a tank? But this is for show and you are not bring this into battle....lol.
Trust me more bright colors the better just don't go overboard.
6. I like to dry brush with a light brown to give it a dust coat.
7. Antenna â€“ is from a cheap brush and gel super glue
8. I just need to get some new decals. I had a few old packs of the GHQ one but they all fell apart when I tried to get it off the backing. Maybe too old.

How that helps... I know there are a lot of good painters on this site.
