Been busy tonight painting 4 of my stuG's.

Been trying the "ambush" patten camo from 1944. (yes the one with all the dots)

I am fairly pleased with the results TBH.

Very nice. How many did it take you to wish you hadn't put dots on the first one.

well after finishing the first one and putting next to an "undotted" one I could see how much better it looked so that kept me going.

It wasn't as hard as it looks, planing to do the other 4 over the weekend.

I know the camo effect doesn't look great against a white background but i think it will look the dog best bits on a FoW gaming table

That's a great resource! Imagine if you could click it and it opened another window, thus enabling me to reply whilst I looked at it. :)

Yeah I know that, I also know that clicking it with my mouse wheel button opens it. The thing is, I'm making work for our Killcrazy so just go with it :)

Speaking of Stugs.
You still owe me money :P

And today I started removing the mould lines from my M10s and holy crap the metal parts were direly moulded. Had to cut huge chunks of excess metal to make the armour plates "smooth"
On the upside, they are damn nice models.

After a bit of thinking, I might attempt Flames of War, but first I'd like to look at the rules.
