Grungy Soviets in spotted winter camo

What panzer colors were used in this winter snow combat?

Done to fine detail. It has added cables. Note the area where the red star is was “masked off” before whitewashed. This IS-2 has been around the block, its springtime now, and the whitewash is severly faded.

Pretty cool guys, from 1:72 scale “Forcs of Valor” set, that will get used alongsdie a few AAM pieces. Repainted of course. I dont know what it is, but thier seems to be an oilyness that seeps up through the paint. I have tried all sorts of sealers, but this oily feeling always comes back eventually. The paint on the men does not lift off, or itself get greasy, so no harm no foul I guess.

Nothing fancy, not excessively wethered or anything, but very sharp.

After about 9 different coats of paint, ink, and wash, the base coat is complete. Paint process is about 20% complete at this point:

Thanks. I have been known to use pennies as bases too. Especially if you go out an look for something to make bases out of, they all cost more than $0.01 each. Heck, bingo chips work good too, but they cost more than $0.01 too, lol. I paint and use pennies for all sorts of markers, including: Land mines, newly made shell craters, tank obstacle bases, etc. Odds are, whatever you mount on top of the pennies are worth more than the pennies themsleves. Since they arent worth saving to use at the store, I save a HUGE jar of pennies for all sorts of uses (anything except currency). I usually do my war games on 5/8 inch hex maps, and I couldnt get by without all my pennies. I just thought of a new use, too. I like to be able to blow up the buildings I put out on a map, and I bet I could glue thick grey felt to them, and have removable buildings?
  I imiagine your using them for bases also provides a very stable piece, which wont tip over.
