What panzer colors were used in this winter snow combat?

It’s not perfect, but it has the same level of detail as a regular axis and allies piece considering it’s size. I’m not sure I will need help designing anymore. I figured it out for myself.[0_1603832941634_Type 59 (1).stl](Uploading 100%)

@Field-marshall said in Soviet Mountain Troops 1/72 - Ultima Ratio:

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?

Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.

I haven’t painted anything in years.

@Caesar:

That chart is nice but it doesn’t name the color, I guess I am best off just going into a model shop with an infantry and compare colors.

The vallejo color is middlestone.  To me I like to think of it as limabean green or pea green.

Thanks, will give that try.  The other/combined issue is that it is so pliable that the plastic bends and the paint peels off also.  Might even try a dip in super glue or something.

So cool! The centurion is one of the few V1 pieces that play well scale-wise with the V2 15mm units.

Do you have something for France for G40 that doesn’t use USSR pieces in Blue?

Hello! I saw that you may be interested in purchasing Axis and Allies minis. If you are interested, I literally own every set & every miniature that exists. Message me if you are interested. Everything I have collected of A&A has been kept in special protective cases, preserving everything in an absolute state of flawlessness. Message me if you have any questions as well. Thx!

That works, Looks great :-D

@dinosaur:

I was thinking of doing this myself.  I was going to place a magnet under the carriers in the void space and then superglue a ferrous metal wire to the underside of the planes.  Has anyone tried this.  Is it not enough to make the planes stick?

Ive never tried it but I think it will work. You will need those 3mm hobby magnets, not sure if they are Rare Earth or not. They do an excellent job at holding tank turrets in place so its not a stretch to think they will work in your application.

Here are a couple of pics of the new basement hobby/computer area I am having built. You might say its a man-cave for a nerd. :lol:  Its just the skeleton but you can get the idea. There will be fresh paint, shelves, lighting and etc before its finished. I will be able to roll on my chair along the desk to what ever station I have set-up.

As the Piece de la resistance, In the center on the bumped out wall I am having a glass display case built for my 15mm mini’s and my AAM Canadian army. I will send the shelves for the case to a good friend who does 3d terrain and have him flock and create terrain on the shelves for the minis to sit on. I’m hoping it will look pretty cool.

[EDIT] - The photo resizer doesn’t seem to be working so you will have to scroll to see the entire picture.

@ABWorsham:

How do you paint your models? With brush or spray?

100% brushed using Vellajo paints. By brushing with thin coats of paint its easy to get a smooth finish that looks like airbrushing. This was my first attempt a fading paint on the top surfaces to simulate desert suns ability to fade colors.

Nice job PP, put that one in the display case.

Nice Tank!
