Painting/finishing various German vehicles:
 |
Range of figures from 'unknown manufacturer' and Rapid Fire. Wheels on the half tracks best described as 'wonky'.

This lot make a nice little recon group. The Schwimmwagen was a freebie in an order from Rapid Fire. Don't know who made the Sdkfz 250s - they had been given their undercoats years ago, just finished them off. They seem to have lost their mgs!

Father's Day Wespes from Frontline. Bases just painted a plain olive green. No crews yet - may not get any.
|
 |
Grill M sdkfz 138/1 150mm SPG - no idea who made this.

At the moment I've got a load of stuff to repair/finish, so this job will alternate with painting figures. Updating the WW2 stuff is a bigger job than I had intended.
Are the 250s covered in layers of paint or are they simply recasts?
ReplyDeleteSprayed the bare model with the yellow undercoat, green and brown painted on, desert yellow dots painted on green and brown.
DeleteLooking good, perhaps some lichen or fern material stuck on as camo? German vehicles later in the war feared series attack, so resembled mobile forests, shade s of Mcbeth!!!
ReplyDeleteWe used airfi x kits AND minitanks, still do, and found the kits always seemed to shed wheels and tracks, militants were tougher, altho we generally removed the rolling wheels.
Have hundreds of WW2 tanks and trucks, started with it as a child.Young child, now older child.lol.
Have experimented with that in the past but at the end of the day always go back to basic things - might paint on numbers and crosses but don't bother with shading, rust patches or anything else like that.
DeleteAERIEl attack! Not series sttack!
ReplyDeleteThese look excellent. I particularly like the dot camo.

So do I -it's a pain but I tend to do it with of them now. Having said that, the overall army is a total mess as regards camouflage schemes!
