Painting Panzers

 Been a while since I've written anything; I just want to get a few ideas off a piece of scratch paper and onto a more concrete platform. Spectre Operations - Modern Miniatures In the past month or so, I started on Spectre Miniatures' DEVGRU team, following their Multicam recipe loosely, which I think came out really well. I primed my miniatures with Krylon grey like always. I think the Vallejo Medium Grey is actually a better basecoat than the suggested Vallejo Green Grey, as it gives a better sandy/brown color, without having to make the browns more prominant in the pattern. My Multicam Mix Basecoat Vallejo 70.987 Medium Grey Paint Stripes of Citadel Waaagh Flesh, Straaken Green, Dryad Bark, and Vallejo German Camo Medium Brown Wash with Athonian Camoshade Paint stripes/splotches of Citadel Pallid Wytch Flesh Touch up/cut in some more stripes of various colors to preserve the "stripey-ness" In Modern kit, the two other prominent colors that came up were Coyote and R...

 I'm so happy to post more pictures for you guys  And I'm so glad to be back! It's been a long while since I've written anything for this blog, but I've been at work on a lot of various projects. Number one among them is working on terrain for my personal board. For this, I've been working on slowly building up more and more bocage, along with a faux fur mat, roads, and a forest's worth of trees. Let me know what you think, and what else I can do to add to it!  This Normandy terrain is slow-going, mainly because it's my own personal set, and I put my personal terrain set below painting and assembling miniatures and buying new armies, which is a habit I need to break. I'm trying to finish this terrain by the summer, so it'll be ready for many casual games and maybe even an appearance at a convention or two! I bought this cheap Revell model Spitfire from Hobby Lobby after Christmas when it was on sale. I think it...

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, but I've got some good progress to report! As was promised quite a while ago, I finally settled on a method for making Normandy bocage that I'm really happy with. A lot of the time, I see hedges as waist-high decorations, but the bocage of the Normandy campaigns were truly formidable obstacles. I've modeled these as having a dirt berm a bit taller than the mini, and then having the foliage extend an inch(ish) higher. These bits of bocage are in about 1 1/2 foot segments and designed as scatter terrain for a Normandy table that I am building up slowly. I took some photos on a smaller piece of board I am using as a mini-photo set. Enjoy some of the bocage pictures, and let me know what you think! Terrain Experiments! After finishing the bocage, I was looking for another mini-project to work on while I waited on some bits for the final display board to arrive. Walking around Hobby Lobby one day, I noticed...
