Here are some painting and modeling projects I have completed the last couple of months. Most of the German stuff was given away as prizes for contests we had on the Underground. The Canadian repaints I have and will never part with. :-D
Panther A (PSCo)
Panther G (PSCo)
Opel trucks (WotC)
Vet Tiger repaint (WotC)
Italian Lancia Trucks (one with ink wash and one without) (FoW)
Panzer IV, Aust G (PSCo)
Panzer IV, Aust F (PSCo)
Nashorn Commander (WotC) V2
Fireflys (PSCo)
Churchill AVRE (Custom)
Sherman A3 (Gaming Models)
CMP Trucks (FoW)
Very cool. How do you paint the emblems such as the German cross or Canadian Maple Leaf? I have tried using a tooth pick. After painting a dozen, which didn’t look as sharp as yours, my eyes always hurt from focusing so tiny.

Water slide decals from Battlefront (FoW). They add a nice touch. I wish I could find the yellow bridge crossing weight discs.
Those are some pretty snazzy results, love that German armor :-D
Awesome stuff.
Those are good, Ober.
Beautiful. I cannot paint at all.
Great work.
Thanks for the feedback, its always apperciated.
I haven’t done too much lately because I have carpenters renovating a spare basement room into a ‘Hobby Cave" for gaming, Modding and Painting Minis and playing World of tanks. Its going to be sweet and all mine! It will consist of a long counter along one wall with a desk at each end, one for Painting & one for Computer. In between will be shelves above the counter for displaying minis. I will be able to roll my chair in between them depending on what I am doing. I will also be moving my 4’ x 8’ gaming table on wheels into the cave from the garage when it complete. The walls will be done with Axis and Allies Minis posters that I have been collecting from my LGS over the years. Can’t wait, it should be nice.
Just had another look. Truly beautiful. Especially love the Wespe.
You deserve your badge.
Just a quickie, as I am a geek. The Tiger with the number 434, which company made it? Just wondering as the decal 434 baffles me. I wonder if it came with the model.
I am not aware of a 4 Company Tiger unit. Tigers were the 9th Company or in 3 Company Battalions.
Sorry to be such an arse!
Its a WotC Veteran Tiger I repaint. The decals are from a FoW decal kit and don’t represent anything historical, just for effect. The Wespe is actually a WotC repaint of a Nashorn which I modded into a Nashorn commander tank which should have historical numbering in contrast to the tiger.
A Nashhorn. Thank you. I would have never guessed.
I have no idea how they were broken up into units.
Will wiki Nashhorn and see if I can learn about them.
The Nashorn was an interm vehicle mounting the 88mm that was based on the Panzer IV chassis.
Heres the LRDG that I completed last fall. Hands down theses were the hardest but most fun to paint.
How do you paint your models? With brush or spray?

100% brushed using Vellajo paints. By brushing with thin coats of paint its easy to get a smooth finish that looks like airbrushing. This was my first attempt a fading paint on the top surfaces to simulate desert suns ability to fade colors.
