The idea is to be parked in a hull down defilade at a firebase, with a section of wire in front and a bunker off to one side.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hello all... Slowly i get there, painted the tracks over the last few days. I have now officially used every drop of black paint. This is only a portion of the tracks here. Id have to stand about 4 feet away to get the full length and then i would lose the color variance. Later in the week i will add them to the tank and then i can muddy them up. Dennis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Well i actually melted the little rivets to glue the tracks today, that was successful. Then i mounted the tracks. Sometime over the next couple of days i will go and muddy up the tracks. Then its just figures to paint. Questions, comments, jokes, or good stories ?

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hello everybody. Well i was finally able to get around to play with the mud. I couldn't quite get the exact shade i had before. Personally i think this helps the overall look. Looks like fresh mud over older mud. Here is my Patton as she sits. Now for the dreaded part ! Something i can no longer avoid. 😔 Its time for figure painting ... Im just hoping they look better than dead fleshed out stick figures ? Questions, comments, or funny stories ?
