Crocs, Hummels, and Marder IIIs for Hey_Yu

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.

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.

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

That works, Looks great :-D

Thank you. I still make plenty of models, I just have to spend less time posting them. I have way too many irons in the fire, but I wish I had time to post all the stuff I do. A lot of it, I paint, let dry, then pack and ship, thinking later “oops, I didnt scan it”.  :(

Also ordered in “fine” detail. These Hummels can have thier guns lifted out, and 88s put back in. The 88s are made from the same mold as I use for my sFH18 150mm guns, but with portions cut away, and a thinner, longer metal barrel put on. I made a mold from the barrel of a King Tiger for the muzzle break, and resin cast my own for the nashorn guns. Crews are mounted solid, and thier is nothing else inside the tanks like ammo - since I could not do both 88mm and 150 split-part ammo in this tank that is meant to be either. 2 of the crewman are just climbing onto the back through the opened doors I made.
