I have been working mostly on modelling this week, and now have completed a mortar company to go with my Tankovy Batalion. Also, 11 T-34 and 3 stuarts await priming and 3 stuarts wait to be green. 2 platoons of inf are finished and several platoons of tanks are green and ink washed. </div><div>I will take some more pictures and get an Up-to-date update posted tomorrow. The first two pics are of infantry with highlights (stage 4)- awaiting final higlight and base finishing to get them to "table-top std". The next pic is the KV with the W & N peat brown.magic wash and a drybrush of GW catacian green over the design masters "basil" spray paint. I am not too impressed with the outcome. I will keep experimenting to get a satisfactory highlight color, bur right now my focus is to get 'em all green before June 15. </div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071331845860972930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfRfDWliW1HKOxEjiHsnY-9Q0AQlutpFl8C0hO8GuRfqxKZ_vm2ojKMc5RXQl5YBNAi8Y-rqzFd0i674kXqjhguwDfWrYYyogyRbYiNURg9LiRp-D4gJ29hgI0GIlQS8RNoAgdKqe22wR/s400/russian+ww2+paint+022.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071331850155940242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 411px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 288px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="137" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRyxmetQ6shEG5Nze6c5-R4XzRwk047Fx_8yzEXE-Z75HpGXIHyo35aJwUKhQ3kyd6P6yrmlcb1bZD6InVKOP7nhNDhTQGidZSZbMI19iqZc896PJQc8KWDMTCUQvO3tG77Chi-tQkQ7n/s400/russian+ww2+paint+025.jpg" width="432" border="0" />Unkle Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08281723433357270170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687402678852958827.post-44634359103192701672007-05-28T08:23:00.000+04:002007-05-28T08:38:44.949+04:00Update-painting continues<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EbFl_WDliz0_dktN7csBQC5_RJmw5476Vn6DkD-FXG3aAHWIPyb9r0WwXiiad_JjcdH5ZblIKDtxoXHfjFeKexDpYpwFQ4tK28CHtQoKcFZDVFtLGX2ynghIYByKiN3FX0grNtGgZxGT/s1600-h/stg1+close2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069463174309959986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EbFl_WDliz0_dktN7csBQC5_RJmw5476Vn6DkD-FXG3aAHWIPyb9r0WwXiiad_JjcdH5ZblIKDtxoXHfjFeKexDpYpwFQ4tK28CHtQoKcFZDVFtLGX2ynghIYByKiN3FX0grNtGgZxGT/s400/stg1+close2.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is<br />inf at stage 1, all base colors <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJD8lfMS04nNTvT0MrnYm9aCNFDjyS78wdYtMAG15k-Taq0eP-Valneu6GnpENHsrvgWS1b_j-5_Dleh7dIn53jOjWMnBJwUsUITLqYCsLvqzCybDmP4_aSc93DPnc3RqgbeqfKtnn6OCA/s1600-h/russian+inf+stg+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069463178604927298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJD8lfMS04nNTvT0MrnYm9aCNFDjyS78wdYtMAG15k-Taq0eP-Valneu6GnpENHsrvgWS1b_j-5_Dleh7dIn53jOjWMnBJwUsUITLqYCsLvqzCybDmP4_aSc93DPnc3RqgbeqfKtnn6OCA/s400/russian+inf+stg+2.jpg" border="0" /></a> Stage 2, with peat brown ink and magic wash.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMihErRYEFmm9ysYmaYPm_ARfIvbAXQuUvoT5sI-HhTVJM7rzRzPoUHLKz9e18hx_DSPxbXNUeV2N8F90V3YtTX6S97Fu2_lAmZXRU294cpcZURRhGrvr_ifZbqJh_v5AKmRmjMCRB9TQv/s1600-h/stage2+detail.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069463182899894610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMihErRYEFmm9ysYmaYPm_ARfIvbAXQuUvoT5sI-HhTVJM7rzRzPoUHLKz9e18hx_DSPxbXNUeV2N8F90V3YtTX6S97Fu2_lAmZXRU294cpcZURRhGrvr_ifZbqJh_v5AKmRmjMCRB9TQv/s400/stage2+detail.jpg" border="0" /></a> stage 2 detail<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBG94X4qDjrhaSDxsN46eznm8kAm9O3cZtIjikRrmyin7Txub0gfh1j_vFuKXisZdeT85p9U0KEGeUrODfFTCUp9HbKHU0JM3nIAu337POkYpuGExzXttxmadgumYYCpGER1s4zQfsaRzo/s1600-h/kv+wash+compare.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069463182899894626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBG94X4qDjrhaSDxsN46eznm8kAm9O3cZtIjikRrmyin7Txub0gfh1j_vFuKXisZdeT85p9U0KEGeUrODfFTCUp9HbKHU0JM3nIAu337POkYpuGExzXttxmadgumYYCpGER1s4zQfsaRzo/s400/kv+wash+compare.jpg" border="0" /></a> a comparison of washes- the top KV is a dark brown GW ink/water wash vs. the bottom with W&N peat brown ink and Magic wash. really no comparison....the magic wash rules.<br /><br />I am working to get at least 1500-2000 pts painted into a "table-top-gaming std" paint level before mid june. 7 T34, 1 inf. coy, 6 stuarts, 3 su 122, 3 ba-10, 3 kv1, are assembled and in some stage of painting.<br />I may try and get a few more tanks or AA trucksor an 37 mm AA battery and maybe a Mortar company done as well, time permitting...Unkle Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08281723433357270170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687402678852958827.post-44294657141388896022007-05-09T05:43:00.000+04:002007-05-11T22:11:18.005+04:00painting begins...<div><div><div>I have begun to do some painting.

There were really no major issues with the castings, just a few mold lines and some extra flash. One complaint I do have is that the barrels supplied for the KV tanks were the same size as the stuart barrels, and smaller than the BA-10 barrels. They were too short as well so I decided the "stock" barrels had to go. I made my own out of some wire and I think they look pretty good. I am awaiting the arrival of the tank commanders before deciding which and how many of the tanks will be buttoned/unbuttoned.</div>Unkle Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08281723433357270170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687402678852958827.post-68325367342268755852007-04-16T02:25:00.000+04:002007-04-16T02:35:04.608+04:00Heavy Metal<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNW56I2Yn0MXlAFOKigNx-vMpMJuG9kU_AS4HM3Rv1TPAN-0PjuxWVp-n2GehoIQattZ6rQgp3Yx34PjjMpHEMoHOxq07BSoy9EMi0ZrnC_rbAec8w-SD5SKYT3Cqk9mPJBxnixHs5nk3d/s1600-h/heavy+metal.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053786988956978370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNW56I2Yn0MXlAFOKigNx-vMpMJuG9kU_AS4HM3Rv1TPAN-0PjuxWVp-n2GehoIQattZ6rQgp3Yx34PjjMpHEMoHOxq07BSoy9EMi0ZrnC_rbAec8w-SD5SKYT3Cqk9mPJBxnixHs5nk3d/s320/heavy+metal.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmi6wtLv3KnARTMMtrPPuNUckaDHbfUwmwKonaYtqicC1dgRhdx0SUr4GlbL-ukWSdLywTY0WZVRyrvFWBV4UEBg2yQXq9RP_f8cEJqWqvLBay5zsTMsGmWaeuVwq8QaqrcTdIO3VQaCR/s1600-h/motor+pool.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053786993251945682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmi6wtLv3KnARTMMtrPPuNUckaDHbfUwmwKonaYtqicC1dgRhdx0SUr4GlbL-ukWSdLywTY0WZVRyrvFWBV4UEBg2yQXq9RP_f8cEJqWqvLBay5zsTMsGmWaeuVwq8QaqrcTdIO3VQaCR/s320/motor+pool.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have completed all of the vehicles that have arrived from Warweb.com.
