Thank you Redleg. I will get back to the artillery after Historicon in Lancaster, PA.

These TUSK 1, used different, lighter tan/sand color, then washed.
Which tank hull has the wrong turret on it? Earn the regular 10 points, but to get an extra 5 bonus points.
Also a pass to the next round.











To compare all groups….

Nice work Chris! The wash really makes the details pop!

[foxbat]

Congratulations on these last ones, Chris. That wash makes details pop out nicely.
Nice to see you keep painting too. We've had temps betwen 35°C & 45°C for the last 10 days here, and I can't just draw the juices to hold a brush. Oh well...

Those TUSKs look great, Chris! The wash really makes them Pop.

[Hoth_902]

I definitely have to agree with the work on the TUSKS... They do standout.

[chrisswim]

Gents, thank you. Glad you appreciate these tanks. I may … try … to put a wash on more of painted items.
Just took Historical Trip, it’s been 10 years, for 10 days.
Locations: USS Alabama in Mobile, AL. Then to the WW2 Museum in New Orleans, then to the War of 1812 battle of New Orleans at the Chalmette Plantation. Then back to Mississippi, Vicksburg & the USS Cario, then a few small engagement locations, Corinth & Shiloh and a few other little engagements. Some of the museums, offices were not open, oh well. A few were small park in size. Then long drive to Gettysburg Tuesday afternoon & Wed morning. Then to Historicon. Then Sunday 13 hour drive home.
I did pickup three XM-1, Abrams prototype models in 1/285 & a Goer.
I need to organize my pictures, est 1200 +.

Sounds like an awesome trip, Chris! I can't wait to see the photos!

Very nice work on your French vehicles, Chris. I like how you customized your VBLs,no small feat, as they are really small models

[chrisswim]

Thank you Foxbat.

[redleg]

Lookin good Chris!

[chrisswim]

Thank you Redleg, appreciate your kindness.

Hit these Japanese with dark green, then field drab.
That is how the Japanese Army deploys in that camouflage.
But I will add black. Just pop a small bit.
