Ah but that would not be following the idea of the GB which is to show equipment in desert colours, or figures in desert dress, NOT equipment that happens to be being used in a desert otherwise it would be any colour scheme ever applied to anything including grey aircraft etc. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(so if you can weather the hell out of it with sandy pigments or find something more deserty it will make craig and I sleep easier at night) (edit: that sounds like we sleep in the same bed together. we don't) 🙃 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
