Very nice, may have to copy those colour schemes.
I have a load of armies army apc n figures.
And after seeing a grey building 15mm blog, (which i cant find again :( ).
It spurred me back into 15mm scifi and i ordered some Madmecha buildings and some gamecraft.

Is your camo scheme based on any "real" camouflage colours? or just made up.

Very cool, nice cammo.

My grandma, that's a big gun you got there!

Very nice.

Thanks all ,
Glad you like them.
The camos are loosely based on ones I saw, tell you what ,I'll post the actual pics , that should help.

Tk421 nothing speaks business like a big gun :):):) , but don't kid yourself it's mostly condensors, heat sinks & channeling vanes for the Experimental Electric Arc beam … it's Rusk after all , nothing subtle about it.

We have a new Comrade in the mists!

Really nice paint job:) the militia one is my favourite!

As always I strive to improve and those tiny print lines are now gone. Zrunelord had a an early batch ( and a little cheaper). Not that you could see them with a primer and base! I've around 18 of these ones still left, so if anyone is interested ill do a special deal per vehicle. In the very near future I'll also have metal turrets, crisper again and nicer to convert.

Additional turrets will also be available soon

Very nice look. Vehicles look great too.

Thanks all,
Glad you like them Keith,
Indeed ,truth be known ,you told me that they had slight defects & was selling them discounted.They're still very good standard for wargaming ,so I'd highly recommend them ( especially with the special deal you're offering).

As regards to the paint job , sometimes simple is very effective as can be seen by the Brown vehicle.

Sandable Plastikote Grey Primer, Liquitex Red Oxide wash as a base coat, W&N Peat Brown wash then W&N brown drybrush & finally weathering with Ivory drybrush on the body & wash on the wheels to get the detail out. Finally some black drybrush on the wheels to re darken them.All wear & tear done with a blade.

Be Inspired , I'll post the scanned camo pics asap.
