I've been painting a bunch of 28mm late-war British infantry recently, and I thought it was time to get some vehicles painted up for them so I could possibly try the British out in Bolt Action, possibly at the local store's Thursday night games. These are all Warlord miniatures. I'm slightly disappointed in the final finish. I had covered them all in dust pigment, but when I put the final flat coat on them the carrier of the dull lacquer dissolved the dust pigment and made it look like a thin layer of 'muck' instead of dust. I was trying for a muddy look on the treads, but not on the hulls. I think I still have more to learn about weathering armor models. Either way, these are 'good enough' for the tabletop.

Beret colours:
link Maroon for paras, bright red for military police.
Black for tank crew. You might find a soft brush and light overbrush of fawn is easier than the new fangled dry stuff.
I like squirrel brushes for this sort of job and blocking in. They're cheap and I quickly got used to having to spring. |
