Both vehicles look used and just out of a mud puddle. Nice modeling, sir. |

Nice work, I've got a Tamiya Daimler scout car on order. I still remember my dad buying the matchbox monty's caravan set and giving it to me to build. The scout car was the first thing I built!! |

Very fine work sir! Which colours have you used for the two-tone camo? I have been building BEF in 1/144 scale for when Battlegroup Blitzkrieg finally comes out. At the moment my Matilda's and A13s are in plain green and I would like to make them a bit more authentic. |

I don't use any specific colours like Valejo or GW or anything like that. I use the "Americana" range of acrylic craft paints from Decoart and just mix until I get the right colours. The lighter green is just your basic olive drab (medium green with hints of brown) and the darker colour is dark forest green with a tiny hint of dark brown. |

Thanks Dan. I'll work on those basics and see how they come up in 10mm, will probably have to lighten them a little for smaller scale. |
