Bolt Action Home Guard
More progress
It’s time to move on to the slightly bigger stuff! So it was back to the airbrush to lay down basecoats. For the Brit’s, and after using some “googlefu” – Russian Green seems to the go to colour for tanks, armored cars etc. So the pic below shows the Vickers Tank and Beaverette after the first basecoat.
In Operation Sealion Campaign book, which is where you will find the most up to date list for Home Guard, we don’t have access really to all the shiny stuff but the stuff we can access is really characterful and chimes with what I really like to see on the table.
After basecoating, I then hit the models with some wash. For this I used a Vallejo product which is simply a wash for olive and green vehicles. It really does the trick and gets into all the nooks and crannies without pooling too much. You still need to keep a little eye on it and go in an work any small pools that do form but its not as prevalent as other washes I’ve used. The pic below shows the models after the wash.
To finish off with it was back to the airbrush to load it up with our original colour of Russian Green to hit the model for highlights and whola done.
