The armoured car got it's three colour finish. For a long time I thought I should leave it as just the dark yellow and green, but finally resolved to make it like the others.
A long shot. Basically most of the painting is done.
A close view of curly, larry and moe, before they go to their vehicles.
With transfers (decals) attached. They are a bit bright, but I left them as is. I also did very minimal weathering; not more than a dusting of earth on tyres and tracks as I'm not a fan of heavy weathering.
A front view of the 3 stooges or 3 amigos in their vehicles. In any vehicles I do, I always try to have a figure to give them a personal touch.
And a view of the Panzer IV with the skirts attached with blu-tak. I decided to leave the skirts loose to allow for representing different models in games. (Apologies for the slightly fuzzy, shaky hand photos here).
And that's them. I reckoned that if the chap who agreed to buy the tanks, wanted heavier weathering he could easily apply some more, or glue the skirts on to the Pz IV.
They were passed over to their new owner, a chap at our club, who kindly agreed to contribute something to a friends justgiving page, where she's baking cakes and raising money for cancer research. In case you may be interested, her page is here;

More later, as I try to progress the 28mm Napoleonic Italians or the 15mm Seven Years War stuff, or another of the projects on the go ...
Excellent tanks, although I have to admit I prefer heavy weathering on everything that is at war and land based.
ReplyDeleteAs you mention, that’s up to the lucky new owner.
