How come you never paint any Americans!?! I'd like to see what you'd do with them. Also, what paint mixture do you use for your dunkelgelb? I really like it. |

Those are some great-looking vehicles, Piers! |
Big Red | 30 Jul 2013 1:37 p.m. PST |
Just outstanding! Yes, if you don't mind me asking, what do you use for dunklegelb? |

Ken
I have already done my Yanks
:)
More pics somewhere on my blog
Around April 2013 I think; ww20mm.blogspot.ie More Yankee stuff soon as I need to do some M5s and Half-Tracks. For Dunkelgelb I use either Tamiya Desert Yellow or Tamiya Yellow-Green. Impreferring the Desert Yellow at the moment (all but one done in that colour) as it looks better after colour modulation with a tan fil and a brown filter.
Next up are a mass of 1945 Russkies

Just wow. I wish I could figure out the weathering powders etc. These are gorgeous. |
15mm and 28mm Fanatik | 30 Jul 2013 2:49 p.m. PST |
Looking good. I like how each of the three Stug IIIG's are different: 2 have Saukopf mantlets, 2 with zimm and one in a simpler two-color scheme. |

Very nice! Definitely puts my painting to shame. Rob |
Simo Hayha | 30 Jul 2013 7:07 p.m. PST |
what airbursh do you use? And do you use tamiya for the camo? what colors? I cant quite get the squiggles down |
PiersBrand | 31 Jul 2013 12:59 a.m. PST |
Tamiya Hull Red and Nato Green. Airbrush is an Aztec. |

Those PSC models look fantastic. If I was Will at PSC I would hire you to paint a single model for all of his ranges to place on the PSC website. I think he would sell lots as a result. |
PiersBrand | 31 Jul 2013 2:24 a.m. PST |
Well William does have a few bits by me on the PSC stand as I do a few shows with him

Nice paint jobs – very neat & tidy. A slightly strange choice of numbering for the panzer ace "R01" – the regiment's commanding officer – marking him out as a double target! |
Joes Shop | 31 Jul 2013 4:20 a.m. PST |
Great work: thanks for sharing the painting data/info. Regards, J. P. Kelly |
PiersBrand | 31 Jul 2013 4:31 a.m. PST |
Well Luke, R01 also doubles as my command choice when I take my Forward HQ in a Panther. So the numbering choice does have a reason
So not so strange really. :) |
GROSSMAN | 31 Jul 2013 4:36 a.m. PST |
Nice craft, I like the Stugs myself. |
Luke Warm | 31 Jul 2013 4:37 a.m. PST |
I tried that once in BGK – never again – quadruple whammy! ;-) |
Frederick | 31 Jul 2013 4:54 a.m. PST |
Nice looking – good inspiration, I need to paint up the Little Prince's StuGs – just hope I do as well! |
mysteron | 31 Jul 2013 6:29 a.m. PST |
In fact for Battlegroup you could use R01 as a red herring . Just because it says "R01" doesn't mean its being used as the command tank or Ace . On a similar theme one of my MK4s is numbered R09 which is part of the recce HQ attachment. I am hoping an opponent might think it is my command tank :) Sometimes you have to think outside the box :D |

Stuggies????????????????????????? You sir need an intervention. I thought you had misspelled stogies, and i came looking for an after the battle cigar. |

The only problem is getting a fair evaluation of the base product. You could make a tuna can look like a great panzer with your talent! Seriously outstanding work and gives us all a standard to strive for. |
