"Some 28mm Tanks" Topic

Hey guys. Here's a few pics of some tanks I just finished up yesterday. All the models depicted are 1/48 scale Revell Combat Crushers. They are $10 USD snap tite kits marketed to kids that can be turned into some real gems if you give them some time and love. Link to my blog: etwgmng.blogspot.com

First up is the US Shermans. These were given a flat OD Green paint job, followed by a light spray of a lighter green to break up the OD. The camo netting is a rubber shelf liner (Which I bought for $1 USD) cut into pieces and sprayed green. The foliage is a mix of Clump Foliage, Tufts, and Oregano. The mud is Brown Paint mixed with Baking Soda to a tooth paste consistency. Slather it on and let it dry, then brush on some Army Painter Quick Shade to add some color. Anyway, here they are:

The German Tanks were done with a clean coat of Panzer Dunkelgelb followed by stripes of Dunkelgrun and Dunkelolive. I added a brown wash to pop out some details, and glued clump foliage all over them, which I do with all my German vehicles. I still have to give the German tanks the mud treatment and paint the commander. Here they are:

Ethanjt21, the time you spent on these basic models was worth the effort. They will be fun to game with, with little worry over "battle damage". Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I just wish they made other stuff besides Pz IVs and Shermans this way.

Very nicely done, the extra work has really paid off!

Those look really good!

Thanks Berzerker!

That means a lot to me coming from you Bracken ;]
