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?
ReplyDeleteI Love the tanks. The camo looks excellent.
ReplyDeleteWow great set of figures, I have a couple of Japanese tanks to paint, and I love how you have done the camp.
