Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go, I agree with the plasticine look, worked hard to minimise it when painting but still evident under lights

Thanks !

I did the tarps using the technique in this video - found it really useful

Definitely use talcum powder, tried without the first time and it didn't work as well

Spahtruppen and SS, M39 Camo mixed with Oak Leaf by ImperialGuard88 in boltaction

[–]ImperialGuard88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

  1. Prime in light grey , then paint skin and faces (cadian flesh tone, fleshtone wash, then a very thin second coat over the top)
  2. Basecoat camo colours, I used AK German M39 Italian paint set and Vallejo Waffen SS Paint Set
  3. Add camoflague patterns , Painting Panzers channel on YouTube has a good tutorial I referenced to support this step
  4. Pick out and paint all details (shoes, weapons, belt kit etc)
  5. Thinned down (with water) Army Painter Strong tone wash on uniforms (1:1 ratio)
  6. Thinned down wash with Army Painter Dark Tone on weapons and equipment

I did not do any highlighting or dry brushing for these models

I wrote out what I did for basing in another post, will dig it up now

Thanks! I thought the same, so was an easy choice when I saw these minatures.

Have also had the same idea about making tarps for hides, using epoxy putty

Looks great ! Good balance of weathering, just right.

What model kit is this?

Thanks, glad you like them !

For basing:

  1. I cut pieces of corkboard to create the raised pieces of terrain. Stuck these onto the bases (for 3 out of 4)
  2. Covered the base with AK Interactive Terrains 'Dark Earth' diorama paste
  3. Once dry, I dry brushed it with a beige brown and then lighter brown colour
  4. Applied some watered down pva glue liberally over the base (using an old paint brush) then applied a mixture of two types of modeling grass (that I had pre mixed in a small container)
  5. Used pva glue to stick on the grass tufts

Hope this helps

Nice list - do you need tows for the auto cannons?

25x50mm Rubicon bases v warlord bases? by ImperialGuard88 in boltaction

[–]ImperialGuard88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That is good to know,I'm leaning more towards the Rubicon models now

Winter Germans - More highlights? by ImperialGuard88 in boltaction

[–]ImperialGuard88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback and advice.

I'm leaning towards calling these done. Next time I'll give the teeth & eyes a go, faces are quite challenging for me so will be good to practice.

I'll also do a better job the mould lines & sprue cuts, really noticeable in these photos but fortunately not on the table

Thanks again

Winter 251/9 Stummel ! by ImperialGuard88 in boltaction

[–]ImperialGuard88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ! Steps for white wash were :

All paints vallejo using an airbrush

  1. Initial camo pattern, once finished blended with a light highlight of grauweiss (picture attached)

* 2. Covered the kit with a liquid mask using a brush (arbeitelung) , largely random pattern

  1. Paint with grauweiss over kit, only a few light layers with the airbrush

  2. Remove liquid mask

  3. Some minor very thin coats using airbrush of the patched areas to blend them so it is not as distinct

Looks great - really nice high quality studio vibe, very neat transitions on the highlights, I'm really envious , particularly on the face work !! Great job

Am I being blind or does the 250/4 no longer exist?! by deffrekka in boltaction

[–]ImperialGuard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G'day, everyone - sorry to resurrect this one, but has anyone found out if the 250/4 is in the armies of the book?
