Young Guns GB #3- Must be under 18!!!

Anyone who tells you any country had a constant paint color in WWII should be institutionalized. Paint pigments vary, some mixed in the field, some in factories etc.

so both of the companies are right. Now if its close to the Russian stuff I would have no idea.

Question: Which one is the real olive drab?

Answer: Both.  First off, the Russians didn't use American olive drab unless we sent it to them with some of the lend-lease vehicles.  They had their own color.  Second, paint batches, wear and fatigue, and fading of the paint, produced a cornicopia (big word- means a lot ) of hues of greens.  you could probably get away with both colors. 

Looks good sergie. Doesn't look cold enough to be in Russia though Jk.

For mud, there was an article on making mud in the Last FSM issue. Its really easy and works great.

As for snow on the vehicle, depends. Do you want you dio to take place when its snowing or not? If you want it to be snowing you could put a light coating of the stuff on. Be sure to keep it off of the engine deck though. I cant speak from experiance for snow on vehicles but I would think it would melt off quick if the vehicle was running.

dio looks ok from here, but I'll take your word on it comrade...

P.S.-sergei, might need to edit your post.  "no profanity" my friend.  not that I mind it, but those upstairs do...

looking at the projects here in chitown ( the ghetto) i see its exactly the same as about %60 of gdansk's houses look like that....depressing, and gray, nothing to do, fear of getting killed by rooting for the wrong soccer club (well, more in krakow) damn communism and the horse it rode in on....

anywho,, my progress....small, alittle more weathering...ill maybe apply another black wash and a sienna wash and then ill be set.. ill post pics once i gain the energy to get the camera

oh sure, brush it off, thats only an area filled with history and old WWII and cold war equipment, nothing interesting....

thanks reb, im hoping to get more done this weekend.

toa, id glue them in, cut masks for them, and seal the masks with liquid mask.  that makes sense to me, and ive seen it done a lot.  maybe yuo dont need to use both at the same time, but either mask will work fine I think. 

ok, so here's the latest work on the bunker.  the turret is fixed in position, the barbed wire is in place, the figs are slowly coming, I scracthed a smoke stack for a "stove" in the bunker, and I'm making a second sign to read 'Minen!'
