SU-85 w 6 riders & 8" SPGS - from scratch

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”.  :(

They are posted ! :-D

The 3 small MG teams are AAM minis customized to be US marine 30 cal teams (with home-made ammo belts and resculpted men). The other 30 cal teams and 50 cal teams are FoW.
  I have not done very much FoW stuff yet, but I do know I do not like the overly-heavy inked lines I see on so many “pro-painted” FoW minis I see. I did use inks, but I made sure to dry-brush the men afterwards to lessen the bulky thick ink lines I see on so many others.

Crewed…barrel raises up and down. Added canopy frame and packs. Painted…new (and different) decals.

Very Nice!

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.

Wow very nice stuff! much better than anything i ever saw.

Ok i would edit that post a bit. I saved it on my computer. I will PM you for details.
