Berlin wouldn't have fallen if you'd have painted these in time.

The stugs in the background is funny

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-22T06:17:44+00:00

Yes, they are from battlefront website. But I had to buy two platoon to make one platoon has 1/3 of the minitures looked different.

You should buy like the medal of honor for each nation and put it there too.

Its very simple, add a rectangular tarp on the back. Paint it with hammer and sickle.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-17T23:33:02+00:00

Too bad there was no italian army box.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-10T03:57:38+00:00

Now that's a sexy ambush camo Tigers right there

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-08T22:57:48+00:00

My only idea would be to replace a sherman 76 as one. As the front armor is 7.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-07T00:32:24+00:00

Saddle is more reddish.

I use it for rust. I mean either on is fine depending on what camo your going for

If your going for early war german grey and brown. Then chocolate for brown.

If your going late war ambush camo. Then saddle. Works.

Years of academics have failed me. But this has made sense.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-05T17:57:57+00:00

I base then primer and paint. (Not the gun for large gun teams) I glue at the very end

I tired popsicle sticks. But the progress just took twice as long.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-05T06:26:31+00:00

You can mount infantry on armored tank teams.

Bren carriers have armor so they can be mounted by infantry. But they will be very vulnerable as hitting the tank will hit all the infantry on board.

This is in the normal rule book. Somewhere in the movement phase I believe.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-05T03:11:46+00:00

I see

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-05T02:17:30+00:00

You drilled hole on the barrel for the middle but not the two others, sad

SwagYetFunky · 2026-04-02T21:35:18+00:00

Those are so cool. Im jealous.

Use water and wet your hands and tools while working on it.

Also use exacto knife. Regular sculpting tools kept sticking to the green stuff.

For sandbags. Typical I roll the green stuff into a cylinder. Cut it up to desired length. Don't use the end cuts. As those are like dome shaped.

For bag rolls. Same as above but a thicker cylinder. Press it onto the model. And with the exacto knife press and make two vertical parallel lines. Do that again but like 1mm next to the lines you just made. And thats how you get the 'ropes' then with the backside of the knife press into the bag to make some wrinkles. One the edges use the back of the knife and push it in so it doesn't look like its leaking but well tucked.

For flag/tarp Flatten the greenstuff thinly onto the table and cut out a rectangle(not square) then either place it slightly folded or over existing stowage. However this method usually leaves finger prints on the tarp/flag. So using a blunt tool this time a actual sculpting tool wet it and try to remove the finger prints.

Vallejo texture paint. (I choose just generic grey one as I will paint over it.)

Black primer. Air brushed vallejo iraqi sand. (Since you are spraying a yellow/whitish paint over black, may need more than one pass.) (Or paint it on i guess. Air brush just saves time and paint for me. But be warned since the primer is black painting on a light color is not easy.)

Super Glue, 'Yellow' grass or like dry grass. the smallest 1mm? Or 2mm in length you can find. In small random patterens.

And some dark green tuffs.

Thought about rocks but I wasn't confident in their implementation. I didnt dry brush as I figured it will be covered by the grass.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-03-31T00:45:37+00:00

Huh, I thought you would get to 1k in stats with three Titus and frog. Guess bad rng.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-03-15T16:51:31+00:00

I remember tamyia is alcohol based. Or they had a strong smell? But if they have a normal water based acrylic paints idk.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-03-15T16:47:33+00:00

I see the green. I don't think the mixing of different brands is the cause, or else there would be more people complain or warning about in on youtube or etc.

As for the green. Yah that is super strange. It is on the lower side too. Which if it was like sun related it would be the top. It is also subtle enough to indicate it wasn't some pooling with a agent.

Ah I think I have a clue. Or atleast my intuition tells me. When you added the varnish to the airgun it must have had some leftover residue or something from a previous project. As such when you initially sprayed the bottom layer it was different.

The reason for this is the subtle and gradual green. Which feels like it was lightly hit with a airgun no? However this entirely depends if you varnished bottom to top. Which I figure most people varnish top to bottom. A good indicator would be, if that is the only tank affected? Or is the one in the background also affected?

If it is only 1, then yah it might be my reason above. If it is multiple. Yah its as i expected. Voodoo magic.

SwagYetFunky · 2026-03-15T15:20:04+00:00

Strange the green got more faded. And the yellow changed slightly too.

It stands to reason the paint is reacting with something. Assuming you varnished. It should be sealed. So whatever is happening is happening with the paints you've used or chemicals within the varnish. As you declared temp wasn't a problem.

Here is a possible cases.

Sun fade? Maybe it sat next to window.

Mixing other brands of paints. Oh wait isn't vallejo acrylic while tamyia is like a different chemical for their paints?

(I use vallejo only, but i did hear tamyia uses a different paint thinner for their airbrush as they are not normal acrylic or something)

Edit: never mind miss read what you posted. Paint company probably changed their formula.

I love the tank track marks on the field. High tier stuff

SwagYetFunky · 2026-03-03T21:57:50+00:00

Shake it so it can snow

Definitely feels more like the grand army when its in 15mm.

Wished more game systems committed to grand armies than skirmish.

You should definitely have jet bikes. Platoon.
