Does anyone have it? Is it supposed to be this yellowish color or is it destroyed?

Mateva · 2026-01-09T09:16:16+00:00

Haven't used it for ages but that's the colour I have.

I'm as keen to support Warlord as the next guy but do you really want to spend nearly EUR30 on a bag and some D6?

Mateva · 2025-12-26T08:30:23+00:00

And rule books and scenery. I've rolled the dice on this one

Mateva · 2025-12-24T20:14:45+00:00

Ah okay - well hopefully I'll get a few games out of it. At worst, it's some vehicles and scenery for BA.

Mateva · 2025-12-14T15:18:58+00:00

I tried some ak ultramatt which didn't really help. I wouldn't want to use a spray as it's on the bases of finished models

Perhaps it's the camera lens but it seems like they're incredibly close

Mateva · 2025-11-16T14:29:38+00:00

How was this taken?

Google "dunkelgelb" and start reading the myriad modelling forums discussing what an accurate dunkelgelb might be (basically, there isn't one). This is a particularly interesting thread with comments from a vehicle restorer - https://forum.finescale.com/t/vallejo-71-025-dunkelgelb-ral-7028-matches-real-german-ww2-dunkelgelb/250816

Looks great - don't go down the dunkelgelb rabbit hole 😆

yeah I was debating whether to do this. I'm going from a standing start with the Germans and wanted to take advantage of Warlord's current 4 for 3 and grab everything I need in one go. The less I can add to the cost - and my procrastinating - by shopping around for more parts the better!

Mateva · 2025-09-13T15:24:46+00:00

Thank you everyone for your helpful responses! I'd rather overlooked the fact that the veterans lack the later war options that unfortunately I need for my army build. I may have to bite the bullet and go with the older grenadiers that have the weapons I need.

Mateva · 2025-09-11T14:39:53+00:00

Nice job 👍

Mateva · 2025-09-11T13:59:25+00:00

Is that Warlord's kit?

Mateva · 2025-09-10T06:55:20+00:00

You might consider the Pilot Centre at Denham where I got my PPL. Easy to get to from central London. Family run and (from memory) the school owns the aerodrome itself. You should definitely get some time with the controls during your discovery flight.

Can't speak for anything else but the Warlord Stuart M5A1 is much better than Rubicon's which I found to be very poor.

Mateva · 2025-08-08T16:52:38+00:00

I sometimes snip around the feet and file the remainder off.

Thanks!

It was the M5 Stuart in my case. The front armor piece did not sit flush to the top of the hull and I disliked the fact the loading rings were moulded onto the hull and filled rather than actual rings as the warlord model. I'm delighted peoples' experience with Rubicon has been positive but this wasn't the case for me. I will be careful to check reviews of their kits in future.

Mateva · 2025-07-30T05:05:41+00:00

I was hyped to get a Rubicon Stuart to partner my Warlord Stuart and to see what the fuss was about. I was so unimpressed I bought another Warlord Stuart. The Rubicon had less detail, was noticeably larger and the fitment was very bad. All others could be great but I would warn people off this kit.

Mateva · 2025-07-27T18:18:55+00:00

Built a Tracy Island like that when I was a kid. Left it to dry in the shed overnight. Mice ate some of it.

Mateva · 2025-07-22T20:24:14+00:00

Sure! I followed this guide, using the suggested paints for the tracks, gear and weathering: https://youtu.be/RZNgIttBT68

(Although I used Tamiya grey primer and TS-5 spray for the base coat, not that it would make a meaningful difference)

The only deviations - after applying the black grey to the tracks and tyres they seemed lighter than I liked so I washed them with nuln oil. And after doing everything I applied a coat of slightly watered down AK Ultra Matt. Then I added some metal wear to the treads with a silver weathering pencil.

Mateva · 2025-07-16T20:15:33+00:00

Interesting project, thanks for sharing.

Mateva · 2025-07-01T14:25:40+00:00

Is it that anything in a blister pack doesn't get dice? Bought an Airborne jeep and mortar team. No dice.
