The fallshirmjager are painted and dipped and while I'm waiting for them to dry I thought I might paint an Indian tank.
 |
| I accidentally added a bit of water to the pigment that I was using, and got some fairly heavy muck happening. |
 |
| The base colour is bronze green highlighted with a bit of medium olive mixed into the base colour. |
 |
| This side the weathering was even heavier. |
Now I have an issue. The plan was that I would be able to use the Indian army to represent Burma 1945 or Punjab 1965. But in 1945 the tanks have big stars on the sides which they don't have in 1965. Not only that, but the Deccan horse had great big blue unit markings in 1945. I have no idea about 1965, but I'd bet they weren't there. So I have to decide. Do I put markings on for '45 or leave them plain for '65? Dilemmas. Help appreciated.

Lovely work here Nate! Your problem is easily solved, just buy more tanks!! Means more painting and more expence and more storage and more work!
ReplyDeleteIf they were mine however I would probably leave off the markings.
Well that is a simple solution Rodger. At the moment I might just go for the latter option.
DeleteI'd leave them blank because blank can be used to sub for ones with Stars but not the other way round. Of course Rodgers answer works too. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I think I'm with that thinking too David. By the time the project is finished and Battlefront release a Burma book, I'l probably be ready to buy new tanks.
DeleteGreat Stuff Nathan,I agree with the others you can always put the decals on later. Cheers Craig
ReplyDeleteThanks Craig. Yeah, that seems to be the consensus.
DeleteVery nice, love the mud effect...
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Great to see good weathering like that. cheers
