ErikT Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Canada, along with other NATO forces, kept a presence in West Germany from 1957 to 1993 as 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group. Here we have some Canucks working on getting their M109 set up for a big combined forces exercise in 1982. The M109 is the only thing here that wasn't either 3D printed or scratchbuilt. This was my first attempt at a small-scale cam net, which wasn't a complete failure, though I did learn what not to do after several tries. It's a piece of stretched gauze with crushed up leaves from my yard glued to it, but I think it looks okay. This was also my first attempt at evergreen trees. Everything was painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with Abteilung oils. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagohod Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looking good. How did you do the trees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Thanks! For the trees, I bought a Christmas wreath of fake pine boughs with the thin plastic needles, then cut off a few different lengths and brushed glue all over everything. Then I dusted them with static grass and painted them when dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
