Operation “Get Cracking” Pt 5

Ok this is the second week on this project and it s looking good so far.

Where a I up to?

I have painted all the flesh on the two platoons and are currently painting the olive drab helmets and bazookas.

What is next?

I need to wash them with a dilute black or grey.
I need to wash the flesh with a dilute pink
I need to varnish them in Matt Varnish.
I need to cut the card off of the bases.
I need to glue them to bases (which i have a stock of pre-roughed or gouged bases surfaces)
I need to mix pain and drywall together and plaster the bases
I need to flock the bases and add colored markings.

So as you can see from the list above there is still plenty to do.

But here is a picture of what they look like so far.

Operation “Get cracking!” Pt 4

Painted the elbow, knee patches and back packs in an olive green colour.

Patches are hard to get “square” but considering they are on figs I got the patches of colour close enough. If I have to I will line the patches in black in the next step.. which is paint all the black colours.. e.g weapons and binoculars.

Yes there are now even more airborne landing into my posts

And I am really proud to finally have some uber FV troops!

Operation “Get Cracking!” Pt 3

Ok I dug deep and painted all the khaki in less than three hours.
Thais pretty good going for a whole platoon and a weapons platoon component too.

Sure I have made some small errors.. such as missing some wood colour on SMG butts .. you can see for yourself. It is hard to pick the Khaki here.. I hope in later parts after washing that a very light dry brush will fix it.

Bye for now.. we are getting stronger!
