Thanks for your kind comments on my camo.
The Leopard was fun to do, I've been messing around with different desert camo patterns and thought I'd see what the 6 color desert bdu (chocolate chip as it was known in the gulf war) pattern would look like on a tank.
The base coat is Mig German sand beige followed by irregular stripes of Vallejo Iraqi sand. The brown splotches are Reaper redstone highlight with redstone to darken the center. The black and white dots were Vallejo Model Air black and insignia white. They were done with a calligraphy pen. Tracks were Vallejo Panzer Aces track primer.
The tank was gloss varnished, and then black washed. Unfortunately the gloss varnish was not completely dry when I black washed it so the tank looks dirty. I did try and clean it up by dry rushing 80% sand beige and 20% insignia white but it didn't make much of a difference. The final step was a couple of costs of matt varnish.
I think it looks pretty cool so I may do a battlegroup this way.

My own rules
No particular game. I make my own rules. It's more fun that way for me.
Thank you for the comments.
