Thank you. I still make plenty of models, I just have to spend less time posting them. I have way too many irons in the fire, but I wish I had time to post all the stuff I do. A lot of it, I paint, let dry, then pack and ship, thinking later “oops, I didnt scan it”. :(
Also, the radio man has an antannae on his radio.
Ignore the green specs that appear to be on the crewman, its actually sitting on the glass of my scanner. A few always fall off, and it looks in the scan like they are stuck to the minis.
These T-26 Super Pershings also had a dual spring support to help hold-up and steady the gun, and a counterweight on the rear of the turret to ease the strain on the traversing gears.

(I love ithis obscure stuff)

Not something I have done before, as I have never wanted to cover up all those details. These ones were sprayed with a texture, which I dry-brushed with brown. It stuck to the texture and made it look dirty. But it wasnt enough. Today I mixed some wood putty, brown paint, and fine sand. I then dabbed it on. It is caked n the treads and at the rear, where the treads would be flinging it around.
I even added mud where it would have been flung up by other vehicles or nearby explosions. The mud was inked with brown afterwards and sprayed with clear.
It’s a pitty you live so far from me IL, I’d love to get in on some of your gaming. An 8 hour drive is too much for my budget right now, maybe in a few years.
Unless of course Cali falls into the ocean, then you can relocate to a better state :-D
