Camo-tastic.

They'll look even better with the blue lenses , any graffiti going on, or are they too straight laced for that?

Oh the gun shields may have more than just numbers.

ach.... if I was but a fast painter like you I would be able to get me some of these troopers as well... I just noticed they have a very clone trooper feel to them... I bet my kids would love to have a big army of these for them to play with... but alas... I have lots of unpainted stuff still

and I have to chime in again... your camo work is excellent! and since I I know about your health issues... you must have something to compensate the issues with... either excellent eyesight or an unknown amount of patience!!!

sorry I have been away for so long matey!

Gun shields are excellent, really effective and realistic camo pattern. Stepping back a page, I'd love to see your models showcased either with a plain background like a photo or with a suitable background that fits the models aesthetics. Saying that, as they are work in progress it's simpler to take them where they are...

Thanks Vik. they do seem to combine well clone troopers with WW-1 very well. I also have a major backlog so know the feeling!

Thanks again for the compliments, I am insanely patient.

Thanks rug! Maybe once done, I can put some white for the time being behind the finished models, I am hoping one day to make a go of getting to the local shop (relatively local) and using their terrain to help make a street to parade down all painted troops and vehicles. Learn to upload it to youtube, add music like in the parades of Power of other nations, and blend it all for folks to enjoy.

It can have it's drawbacks. I wait too long sometimes for replies to important things, and is why I had to be less patient to get my disability in gear. But yeah, I tend to work and then go over it if need be. If I do not, it means I have worn that patience out, and let the model as is as it sometimes can be annoying at such small scales w/o the magnifier station I have mentioned.

Nice heavy weapon teams. Sometimes you just have to be pushy for things.

The cameo is good and consistent

Damn..Shas...I know I've said it before, but you really are an army builder!

Well thanks, now to see how they look like they have seen some action with the washes done.

When I am on a roll, of course you guys know I hit those slumps too

Anyway, here is the Tank killing team ready for more action!

Grime ties them together nicely.

Damn fine job!

They look great shaso

oh yeah... what cool looking squads!...decaled and grimy!

I own that third hand and magnifying glass too...but I can´t work with this worth a damn, I can´t see where I paint through the glass... coordination is nowhere near as in unaided view... if I ever will have to wear glasses I might be doomed hobbywise...

Excellent work, Really liking the camo, and looking nice and grimy.

Dr H wrote:Grime ties them together nicely.

Thank you Dr.H! they are all part of the 144th as can be seen by their unit numbers I need to freehand some simple stuff I will give the guns names as was a thing that has happened in the past and present.

Thanks Dave, glad you also likey! Oh I also used the dark washe to dull down the steel of the BoS minis, I am thinking some highlights on them to show were the armor has been rubbed and scraped a bit.

Thanks Theo! I do aim to make good looking troops. Can't wait to get those armored Valk troops come April on.

Oh yeah! and if for some reason I run out, I will hunt down and order more decals!

My 3rd hand arrives tomorrow, and I do wear glasses myself so there is hope yet Vik, even if you also need glasses!

Ah Cam just as I was writing! Gotta stay consistent with the camo, and also the grime as the heavy weapons are part of the major group of 144th from Kruegeria. all have seen the same actions for the most part, so all same grime until they have to shine but then dress uniforms not armor would be worn for a planned parade, my parade of strength will be as one form just finishing a campaign as I do not have any dress uniformed soldiers lol!

Yes, I was in fact thinking of some classics like "Bertha" or "Dora"

Dora! Dora! Dora! The exploder

Or that great old movie Dora! Dora! Dora! But that was Japanese not khardovians

Okay, one will be named Dora, jut the one time not three.

Oh and Theo and Vik the are comes after the d in Khadrovians, LOL

I have a special disease called dumbness^^.... thus the magnifying glass doesn´t work for me... currently I have quite good enough eyesight... but when I need glasses I will of course use them...pray that this may be thirty years from now...

Well, got the cannons named, all 3 together

Those troopers look awesome! And the heavy weapons look cool!

All I can say is I AM dyslexic .

Which reminds me of my old dyslexic anecdote

So, did you like them Theo?

I guess he likes´em...it´s his way to tell you so...

I like´m too, if you had named greta but alma...then it would be a nice play on names sounding almost like the start if the nato alphabet...^^

Ah but I do have a french designed german owned tank in World of tanks also named "Greta", she is a Somua S-35. I also named beloved Pz-III "Margret"

Oh yes I like them very much,especially with your camo on them. These last ones just beg for an office standing next to them screaming "Pull" and then 1000 clay pigeons take flight
