It’s not perfect, but it has the same level of detail as a regular axis and allies piece considering it’s size. I’m not sure I will need help designing anymore. I figured it out for myself.[0_1603832941634_Type 59 (1).stl](Uploading 100%)

@Field-marshall said in Soviet Mountain Troops 1/72 - Ultima Ratio:

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?

Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.

I haven’t painted anything in years.

@Caesar:

That chart is nice but it doesn’t name the color, I guess I am best off just going into a model shop with an infantry and compare colors.

The vallejo color is middlestone. To me I like to think of it as limabean green or pea green.

Hello! I saw that you may be interested in purchasing Axis and Allies minis. If you are interested, I literally own every set & every miniature that exists. Message me if you are interested. Everything I have collected of A&A has been kept in special protective cases, preserving everything in an absolute state of flawlessness. Message me if you have any questions as well. Thx!

So cool! The centurion is one of the few V1 pieces that play well scale-wise with the V2 15mm units.

@dinosaur:

I was thinking of doing this myself. I was going to place a magnet under the carriers in the void space and then superglue a ferrous metal wire to the underside of the planes. Has anyone tried this. Is it not enough to make the planes stick?

Ive never tried it but I think it will work. You will need those 3mm hobby magnets, not sure if they are Rare Earth or not. They do an excellent job at holding tank turrets in place so its not a stretch to think they will work in your application.

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 ordered in “fine” detail. These Hummels can have thier guns lifted out, and 88s put back in. The 88s are made from the same mold as I use for my sFH18 150mm guns, but with portions cut away, and a thinner, longer metal barrel put on. I made a mold from the barrel of a King Tiger for the muzzle break, and resin cast my own for the nashorn guns. Crews are mounted solid, and thier is nothing else inside the tanks like ammo - since I could not do both 88mm and 150 split-part ammo in this tank that is meant to be either. 2 of the crewman are just climbing onto the back through the opened doors I made.
