Suart 15mm WIP I

COntinuing to painted my british armor company, I did today all the greens for the Stuarts, and paint the first color of the threads. I am using Coat d'arms colors, for the base color i used Olive drab, then i lightly drybrushed with army green, then did a final highlight with  olive drab and british khaki 50/50.

For the threads i used Citatel Dark flesh, wiht a drybrush of boltgun metal and a devlan mud wash. The dark flesh gave a nice contrast with the green of the chassis.

Now i figured out how i need an airbrush, i will see if i buy one next month. It will be a xingling for sure!

The base color was boring to paint, but after that, the painting was a breeze! Tomorrow i will try to finish the details.

Now the pictures:

Stuart 15mm Test Model

Today i tested the color shceme for my british armor company. I did a small research and i decided to paint that green color on my tanks. On the shermans i will try a camo pattern.

I liked to paint the tank commander. Im looking forward to paint the m10 and the crew.

Im using a coat d'arms paints. I bough from Maelstrom the british uniform kit. 

British Armor Company WIP III

Today I finished the assembly of the 4 M10 and 4 Stuarts, both models from Forged in Battle.

They have good detail, but are a little difficult to assemble. But the M10, and the crew, are amazing. The stuarts had some small parts that where difficult to remove from the sprues. The other thing i missed was some instructions to assemble those kits.

I had finished the shermans before i went in vacation, those models are from The Plastic Soldier Company. I am thinking to assemble another 5 turrets with short barrels, to swap between shermans and fireflys.

Tomorrow, if the weather helps, i will prime those miniatures.

ps: Awww crap, now looking the pictures at FiB, i saw that i glued the MG in the wrong place :(

Back from Vacation

After spending 20 days travelling through US, i'm back home and back to the blog.

I didn't found any wargame store near the hotels that i stayed. only found a nice comic store in Orlando that i bought a Conan series.

At Epcot i bought that Gundam model, at the Japanese district.

I didnt geeked out at US, because i spent most of the time with family, and our people spendt most of the time at restaurants, and, of course, drinking beer.

For this week i will continue the work on the British armor company, and i have to move back my studio to my grandmothers basement.

British Armor Company WIP II

I was working on those tanks since december, but the terrain project for the tounament in january took all my hobby time.

They are from Plastic Soldier Company and Forged in Battle (the plastic ones and the resin/metal respectively). The plastic tanks are amazing, but require some attention to assemble, because the instructions arent clear.

The Forged in Battle tanks are very detailed, and the hulls have the details different from one tank to another, but metal is metal and they are a paint to assemble. the M10 guns i will pin, but the stuart ones i will simply glue.

I pretend to assembly another 5 turrets with small guns for the shermans, i think that the big ones are for the Firefly.

My brother is assembling a german panzerkompanie too, and i expect to have a flames of war game in March.

Now with uniforms!

First of, I will start to post in english. My Brazilian public is so small and i believe that everybody knows english at some level.

Second point, this month I will be travelling on vacation. The posts are going to be little or nothing.

And now to the topic!

I just picked up the new t-shirts that we made for the club! They are simple, just the club logo, our state flag and the name or nick on the back.

Terrenos para o Torneio de Verão CGW 2012 pt.1

Começei a pintar os terrenos para o torneio, a idéia é fazer uma mesa com a temática eldar.

As peças que o pessoal de Canoas fez estão fantásticas, espero que eu faça jus ao trabalho deles e acerte a mão na pintura.

Utilizei umas tintas nacionais, da marca daiara principalmente, e pincéis bem baratos pra fazer a tecnica de drybrush.

Eu basicamente pintei a cor principal de terra siena queimada, fiz algumas linhas com sépia e tabaco, e dei um drybrush de avelã.
