A fairly eclectic collection of submissions last weekend.
First up are the remaining 4 28mm scaled tanks from the Trenchworx "Tanks in Manchuria" kickstarter - 1 Soviet OT-26 flame tank and 3 Japanese tanks.
I used Vallejo "Russian Uniform" green as the base coat for all four tanks. I like the shade as it's gives a nicely "faded" base color.
The Japanese Type 95 Ha-GO light tank. The camo pattern is "loosely" based on the Burma campaign and was painted using "blobs" of flat brown and sand yellow streaks.
One of 2 Type 97 Ch-Ha Medium tanks
The second Chi-Ha. I broke the arial while trying to fit it to the hull so this arial has a bit of battle damage!
Lastly, the Soviet OT-26 fame tank.
I am a big fan of the Trenchworx kits and recommend them highly.
Next up some more 28mm WW2 Russians - some Siberian Veterans!
There's a 10 man Siberian Veteran squd, a medium machine gun team and a leader an aid.
I like how the leader fig is employing state of the art Soviet comms technology.
The Soviet horde to date - a bit more to add.
Lastly, I finally got around to building and painting up the plastic Victrix British Artillery box. I still need to do the caissons but will get to those another day.
Victrix Napoleonic plastics are true scale rather than heroic scaled so they can be a bit delicate - notice how thin the ram rods are.

Great looking tanks and artillery, Miles! A buddy of mine wanted us to get into the Battle of Nomonhan, and some of these tanks look the part. That Victrix British set is one I wanted to get too, but ended up with Perry RHA. BTW, did you use an airbrush for the tanks?
I Love the tanks. The camo looks excellent.
Wow great set of figures, I have a couple of Japanese tanks to paint, and I love how you have done the camp.
