Driving into fire makes any vehicle seem to big and conspicuous! Just imagine how it felt to sit atop one of those L-Gs...<br /><br />I'm going to crank out some more infantry then I can start on my NW Europe Brits and Canadians.

In Rick Atkinson's An Army At Dawn he quotes an L-G TC who said he felt as conspicuous in the turret as if he was in the top of a church steel in the desert. <br />I like the infantry, good jobs there too.<br />Cheers mate,<br />MikeMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-50053951051544415102012-12-21T08:17:15.415-05:002012-12-21T08:17:15.415-05:00Very nice!

You basecoat the fig in black, then paint the flesh a tone darker than it is.<br /><br />You then "block" parts of the uniform, leaving black edges at the gaps (gap between clothing folds or when the arms meet the shoulders, etc). <br /><br />On the face, use the final shade, leaving some of the underneath color around the hard edges like the perimeter of the nose and mouth so the lighter parts stand out better.<br /><br />I am by no means "good" at this method, but I find that it's the quickest way for me to paint, and I personally think they look cool. :)<br /><br />My friend Dave is very skilled at this method and has produced some very, very nice figures. He has a few blogs but my favorite of his is "Charge Bayonet."<br /><br />You can find that on the blogs I follow along the right side of my blog.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-66231821530919638952012-12-20T23:30:24.780-05:002012-12-20T23:30:24.780-05:00Very nice.
