All Quiet on the Martian Front Test Paints

I just received my Kickstarter package for "All Quiet on the Martian Front" (AQMF) and have been busy assembling a painting my US steam tanks.  Since I live about a mile from the producer of the game, I've also snagged some pro type parts for a clamp and a command tank (upper left and upper center).

The photo shows my tanks after a initial paint but they still need to be stained and detailed but it's a good start.

Overall the plastic tanks went together superbly and are very easy to paint.  The three grey ones on the left will be part of a Louisiana State Guard Unit.  One of the things I really like about AQMF is there is a lot more artistic freedom in creating units and I'm looking forward to showing a bit more than the usual creativity.

The guys over at WWPD's scifi game site, Outpost Zero are also doing some work on AQMF - their first article is on the Tripods

    Looking good! What green did you use? I went with Vallejo's surface primer Russian Green- seems spot on.

    What's with the grey ones? urban camo??

    Steve - I used Vallejo's "Japanese Uniform" from their Panzer Aces line - sometimes I find the standard olive drab a bit too dark and I was trying for a more bleached effect

    Paul - You should jump in as the back story has those damned Martians in Australia too and you Aussies are just barely holding on - reinforcements are desperately needed so it's really your patriotic duty to paint some up

    Jason - You do need another project, you do need another project and it's just a few simple clicks away......

    Thanks for the comments guys -

    Cool looking steam tanks. I also like the Italy campaign thing. Look forward to hearing more about that as well.
