A Laffly AMD 50 armoured car has joined my WW2 colonial French army. It cost me a good business shirt to paint it, though – read more here:

From these photos, it looks like you nailed the "faded and battered" look. In the photo of the paint disaster on your blog, it looks more like the circus is coming to town, and it should be leading an elephant and a brightly colored cage wagon with a tiger inside. Grelber |

Worth losing a shirt over, those look great! |

Photo taken in better (natural) light than the ones above from last night.

@Grelber I see what you mean! Of curse, this was before I did any of the ink washes or dry-dabbing.

I commented; lighter starting colours, drybrush, filter, bash those decals (much too clean for the rest of the finish) – but looking good.. a really nice first time out. |

Thanks, Khusrau. I had already dry-brushed (or dry-dabbed ot be exact) the model, but took your advice and did even more tonight. I also dry-brushed over the decals. I'll try to make more photos tomorrow. The starting colours were those that came in the AK-Interactive WW1 French pack. But I guess problem is that if I use these as my basecoat, then the later ink wash darkens the shade too much. |

Good luck Arteis, it's more a matter of trial and error getting the right shade/effect. But it is fun playing with different effects. |

worries about not losing his rules stuff.
