No particular reason for this other than the fact that I have a store close to me and its easy to get (and I picked up three cans cheap when I was at SELWG last October!). <br /><br />All my other painting is doen using Vallejo paints, either their game colour range (for fantasy figures) or the Panzer Aces range (for FOW stuff).BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-27634878592783861982011-01-25T06:56:44.109+00:002011-01-25T06:56:44.109+00:00Big Lee,

I have always used white brush on for fantasy miniatures, but I can see the value of using black for vehicles. I just got into FOW and am working on building US 3rd armored division. The painting walk through is nice, thank you.<br /><br />Add some artillery for the US via the assault gun platoon and one for the HQ. Have 2iC and the extra gun all join the platoon. Don't forget your anti-anything guns and check out http://www.3ad.com/history/wwll/spearhead.west.index.htm for some ideas to finish your 2nd Armored.Private Snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15290820833074533080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-88716634206675454332010-11-07T17:00:45.063+00:002010-11-07T17:00:45.063+00:00Very nice Lee, keep 'em coming!Very nice Lee, keep 'em coming!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-10232235310211324572010-11-05T21:08:13.313+00:002010-11-05T21:08:13.313+00:00Simon made me think.

It looks fine on large scale models but I think can seem too dark for small figures. VB might do the trick better.<br /><br />BTW didn't most US armor have no camo or markings? I've seen photos where guys painted over the stars, which were like big bulls-eyes for the Germans.CPBelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415899612539163130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-34693378023586553972010-11-05T19:39:49.737+00:002010-11-05T19:39:49.737+00:00Very nice!

I'm just starting to get into tanks myself and was interested that you are using the violet brown, which I've heard is a good Olive Drab tone.<br /><br />SimonBigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-19096068854423305172010-11-05T16:59:17.183+00:002010-11-05T16:59:17.183+00:00It's the evil empire...
