David,
The Havoc looks great. Even more so over your terrain.

What a terrible couple of Months for the civilized 6mm World.
Mil-28, SA-10 and BM-27 all in one go.
I think I am loosing sleep due to the S-300, truly an underhanded move by GHQ.

Yet more threats to counter, dam it.

I'd lose sleep over an S300 battery as well, but it would depend on which army I was fielding:

I like the look of the tinfoil. I will have to try that.

Here are a couple of pictures of my scratchbuilt / kit-bashed HMS Roberts in early WWII configuration - Will attempt a camouflage paint job later.

It was fairly simple - I just molded the tin foil to the shape I wanted on the SPG, I then delicately took it off and added superglue. Put it back in original position, let it dry, primed with white paint and then painted tarp color of choice. I had to go back and repaint it a couple times to get all the nooks and crannies. They show up reflective at various angles. Good luck!!

The tarp looks very good. Nice inspiration to use tin foil. It looks very good at this scale.

Battlewagon,

Nicely done on the ROBERTS! I like the "plain" grey -- it allows the detail to be better seen. Camouflage hides that detail -- as I guess it is supposed to... guess ya can't have it both ways, eh? :wink:
