Four M-10s custom turreted

What panzer colors were used in this winter snow combat?

It’s not perfect, but it has the same level of detail as a regular axis and allies piece considering it’s size. I’m not sure I will need help designing anymore. I figured it out for myself.[0_1603832941634_Type 59 (1).stl](Uploading 100%)

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?

Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.

I haven’t painted anything in years.

Thanks, will give that try.  The other/combined issue is that it is so pliable that the plastic bends and the paint peels off also.  Might even try a dip in super glue or something.

So cool! The centurion is one of the few V1 pieces that play well scale-wise with the V2 15mm units.

@dinosaur:

I was thinking of doing this myself.  I was going to place a magnet under the carriers in the void space and then superglue a ferrous metal wire to the underside of the planes.  Has anyone tried this.  Is it not enough to make the planes stick?

Ive never tried it but I think it will work. You will need those 3mm hobby magnets, not sure if they are Rare Earth or not. They do an excellent job at holding tank turrets in place so its not a stretch to think they will work in your application.

It’s a pitty you live so far from me IL, I’d love to get in on some of your gaming.  An 8 hour drive is too much for my budget right now, maybe in a few years.

Unless of course Cali falls into the ocean, then you can relocate to a better state  :-D
