Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!

Yeah, sorry about that. But I have decaled that crossfire turret, and am painting squiggles on the scorpions, they will get decals as well as the T-350! Yes, the T-350 will be decaled as well!

Especially as it is this very thread on my monitor when I snapped these pics!
Well, you get A-B-C on the decal sheet. so I would have to add numbers to the letters to make some differentiation, or just use the letters for A-company, B-company, C-company,,,and you know that C-company is always the "Bad boyz!"

Because the "A" company is held to a standard and get's to represent the battalion it is attached to. "B" gets to just do the work assigned and be ready to also take the place of "A" if "A" can't make it. "C" is usually full of the misfits and others that do not quite make that grade. I was a "C" Battery member, so that is how it was when I was in Neu Ulm, we did however try and break out of that mold. But we were the battery/company that had the MP's at our barracks the most for so many reasons.

Woah, cool tanks mate.
If I may offer a suggestion? Why not build up the dirt in a few more-, but thinner layers? Maybe use some drybrushing to make it look a bit more random. Right now it looks a bit like they have been dipped in mud instead of driven through it.
And a thin outlining of the details with thinned black ink will really bring those lovely details to life.
It would take some more time to finish each vehicle but it would give the models that much more oomph!

I thought about it, may re-do them, but I was going for that effect I have seen with German mud that there are pics of, when they drove modern vehicles through some watered mud, it coated them almost like a paint dipping. There are some pics earlier on that showed a Leopard-2 looking similar to my "mud" effect, I should likely do the salt trick and that will add grit to the mud, but that German Mud was smooth and that was why it seemed paint like.
