Painting Progress (lots of pics)

    Oooohhhhh, painting!!
 
    This is really just going to be a picture dump, with commentary. Let us begin...

    First up are some German armoured vehicles, these have been painted for a while now but are still worth a mention as they were an evolution from the desert tank's painting ( I just added a brown wash and some green stripey bits).

 
    Next we have a nice SdKfz 222, the reason for my four colour palette at the moment...



    Had to get the sci fi tag somehow, and here we go. These were acquired from the Colours wargames show last year and have already seen some pretty good games of Full Thrust Light. Someday I would like to try full Full Thrust, the whole vector mechanic is incredibly appealing and there is a new edition due soon!



    And finally, a masterpiece of the four colour palette, and freebie from Salute:

    Now this is the real reason I said that my paint situation has improved my skills. with only a limited range of hues I had to give this dude detail in other ways, stripey bits, markings e.c.t.
It has also forced me to mix the paints a bit more rather than taking them straight from the pot. I am really pleased with how he and his buddy (also freebie but not shown) turned out, I much prefer the sleek black armour to the grey overall they had depicted. I have a feeling they may have a run in with some bio-chem troopers at some point in the future.

Anyway, splurge done and balance of posts returned back to wargaming.
