The SS camo tips were great, but not easy to paint on 15's...<br /><br />Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-36152229761830881532012-12-04T17:20:57.871-05:002012-12-04T17:20:57.871-05:00The tanks look good but the figures are the best! ...The tanks look good but the figures are the best! The early war camo is actually very good. I tried it a while back for a diorama and found it hard to get the colors to show up well, I guess it was because it was on grey/blue in stead of light tan. Good job.Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-60407383323643749552012-12-04T17:13:15.680-05:002012-12-04T17:13:15.680-05:00Thanks, Styx!

The Matilda II is actually one of my favorite tanks of the war. <br />I am not sure if you're into 15mm or not, but Zvezda has a "good" selection of WWII 15mm vehicles. Currently all early war stuff for their tabletop game "Art of Tactic" but I am earnestly hoping they expand the selection.<br /><br />The Matildas were both under 4 US dollars and a great bargain compared to battlefront's 11 dollar AFV. They also look comparable to Plastic Soldier Company. My DAK Panzer Battalion is made up of Zvezda and PSC fill-ins.<br /><br />Zvezda also has very nice 20mm kits, just more pricey than their 15s.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on the SS camo. still experimenting with techniques - oh and don't buy the 15mm Wargames Factory guys unless that's all you're gonna buy. I suppose they have a future as 12th SS Hitler Youth troops??? :)Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-79270929608564994142012-12-04T07:33:26.719-05:002012-12-04T07:33:26.719-05:00"outen the lights, John" :) Thanks for..."outen the lights, John" :) Thanks for commenting, JohnDisgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-30090715540736358192012-12-04T05:15:19.282-05:002012-12-04T05:15:19.282-05:00Great looking work all around Steven...Show us you...Great looking work all around Steven...Show us your tin foil mate!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-1085166444570868232012-12-04T00:09:33.044-05:002012-12-04T00:09:33.044-05:00Nice work Steve!

I didn't know Zveda made them, that is interesting to know. <br />As for the SS trooper, he looks just fine, the camo is well done. Interesting comparison shot you did. I can't say that the Wargames Factory figure came out looking very good beside the other two, Looks like a range to avoid in that scale.<br />Take care,<br />MikeMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-48679445297613682422012-12-03T23:31:58.180-05:002012-12-03T23:31:58.180-05:00Nice work!
