Mobile Painting - The Results

As promised here's a few pictures of what I was able to paint using my mobile kit while up in Leicester this week. I only had two nights away from home but I think I got quite a lot done in the few hours I had spare.

Wood & Turf MG Nest
Sandbag and Turf MG Nest
Concrete MG Bunker - Rear View
Concrete MG Bunker - Front View
A simple shack or outbuilding with wooden shingles
Concrete MG bunker - Rear view
Concrete MG Bunker - Front/Side view

I was able to paint all of these and give them a coat of Vallejo satin Varnish to protect them. When I got home all I had left to do was apply a coat of Testors Dullcote and then add static grass, tufts etc. Job done!

I'm really pleased with these models, especially as I haven't been able to get anything else completed in weeks.

    1. The MG Bunkers are all Battlefront (Product XBX02) and are cast in resin. The Outhouse building is also resin but I can't remember who made it. It's hollow with the roof attached separately. Its too small to fit a base inside so I fixed the roof on rather than allow it to be removed.

  10. Great to see that your time away was spent productively.

    It's been a while but I also used to take a mobile painting station with me when (long ago) I was working out of Horsham and had to spend days at a time at Gatwick.

  15. Very well done Lee. Your travel painting set might give me an idea of how about I should organize myself during my nightly sessions

  16. It reminds me of Call of Duty:Modern Warfare when I'm looking at those miniature bunkers.
