Ollie paints…. Flames of War (Take 2) (Slow Grow League)

Another 50pts completed today – been waiting to finish the HQ crews before posting the Company up.
Same scheme as the Shermans using the Mig Ammo Olive Drab Modulation paints but went an extra shade lighter on these, seem to make them pop a bit more. Then details, gloss varnish, decals, oil pinwash, matt varnish, sponge chipping with some VMC German Grey on to roughen them up a bit, followed by a dusting of VMC Flat Earth and Stone Grey to weather them up a bit. Unfortunately from some angles it looks like the wheels aren’t painted on the HQ as the dirty wheels merge into the hull! 😀
Now… onto some infantry…

Here we are a week later….
decals finally arrived….
pinwashing has been done….
Matt varnish has been sprayed….
Chipping and dirt weathering has been applied….

6 weeks later than planned…. the Shermans are complete!
Can’t get a decent pic of them to show off the paint modulation though for some reason, all coming out a bit flat! 😀

In the meantime, pinwashing is just drying on the Tank Destroyer Company….

My back-ordered decals got finally dispatched last week….
and then promptly lost in the post….
and replacements are now on back-order again…

So the progress update is, there is none!
(And I can’t face painting infantry right now hence why I havent touched them! 😀 )

Went up to Battlefield Hobbies for an intro game ahead of the Hobby League kick off today…. Managed to knock up a 100pt list after raiding the Mid War units and played the Breakthrough mission…. much fun was had and came away with a glorious victory! Had I remembered to fire the M10s on the last turn I would have tabled them (We played out them firing after the game had finished to see what if), but managed to get them the run away having killed the HQ Panther early on and made a mess of the remaining units (including 2 Tigers)
Looking forward to playing more!

With the Shermans on hold and the reinforcements arriving on friday, thought I’d get the Tank Destroyer Co up and running next…. couldn’t face painting infantry right now 🙂
This pic also highlighted I may have a possible addiction…. as that makes 20 M10s in the past 2 months…
