New punch
I was given an Airborne 57 anti tank gun for Christmas. Assembled and primed. My finished Americans batch 1
I have just over 1200 in Regulars so I have enough for some games and get some plays in. Looking to expand soon.
Basing
I wanted to try something different. So I took the citadel textured paint and did the full base.
After this dries I watered down some goblin green to do wash of the textured.
This was followed up by a flock mixture and black sides.
First Batch Finished
I went more basic highlights of using the base colors over the wash. Only exception was the uniform where I took a 75/25 of army painter army green to goblin green to touch the raise parts of the uniform.
I was going for better then basic tabletop quality knowing I’ll have 50 plus guys on the board.
I decided on a black base rim for a look to break up the green.
Prime time
Decided it was time to get my men started. Used Army Painter Army green to base coat all of them. More details to follow.
Final Photos of the Armour
I need to switch to some of my German Tanks then I’ll get to the infantry.
Armoured component finished up
This was my first attempt at weathering. I want to try the hair spray method next time.
But it I used oil paints and thinner to weather the vehicles. Two Sherman’s go to my local store for their Tank War demo set they are putting together.
The dirt is Citadel texture stirland mud.
Now onto my German Armour next.
