Thanks for the heads up 7.62. Will check them out.

Planes look great. Love the airport set up. Need to hunt those down.

hmmm There are a few different types to choose from... And all appear to need a new paint job.

Really nice camouflage on those tanks. What colors did you use on each?
Thank you for sharing.

To chrisswim

Sorry until recently I've been so busy for work. Again sorry for delayed answer

I use Tamiya Acrylic paint Mini. Both adequate for airbrush work and prush paint. (I prefer to use both)

Specific color is XF67 NATO Green, XF49 Khaki and XF 55Dark Tan

I hope this help your further works.

Chris asked.
"That is a nice camo scheme. Really like it, what colors did you use?
It does look Nordic.. nice."

Hi Chris many thanks. It is a new version of my old Balzac cammo but much lighter.
Started with a white surface primer (Vallejo) then spray can light green (I'll check the make, home depot?) Panzer Aces 327 Italian tanker green, 862 black grey.
They still need a very light wash but the white primer seems to make all the difference.
Check out the Land Rover in the background, that was an old Balzac one.

The old M113's arrive at the holding area.

Ben,
Very nice pictures. I like them, terrain, trees and vehicles. Thank you for sharing. We will need to game.

Nice one Ben.
It is always good to see GHQ placed on terrain. Keep em coming.

Here are a couple of M60A3 tanks that I just touched up. Iâ€™m not posting them because they are well painted, but because they are a great improvement over their original paint job.

Here is a comparison of old and new paint jobs. The tank on the left was painted using the old technique of slathering OD green paint all over the vehicle and then painting the tracks and MGs black. On the right is a more refined painting technique where I took the original tank and dry brushed a lighter shade of green on top. Then I admitted to myself that I was old and I broke out the magnifying glass to paint the tracks and road wheels. I used a lighter shade of black instead of straight dark black.

Washes and proper weathering still elude me, but I have some non-committed vehicles that I will continue to practice with. Next I am going to try a MERDC paint job on another M60.

Beautiful M60s!

How about some NATO allies to fight alongside:

thanks guys! I'm trying the MERDC tonight I think.

Great looking tanks, Cav Dog! I really like the desert camo!

So here is my first (and probably only) vehicle in MERDC camo. It looks cool, but I don't have any plans for a unit with that camo scheme so I probably won't do any more. My M60A3s are all earmarked for my CAARNG brigade (circa 1995) and they were just straight green.

These guys are the first platoon of what will eventually be 2/185 Armor
