.....and wooden areas.....

i.e. from the neck upwards.

Speaking of wooden areas...

Rebased some Forest Shamblers at the weekend

Mainly Pendraken, with some Splintered Light tree trolls (who are nominally 15mm)

Also some WM Elven Horse Archers - who are galloping so fast the picture was all blurry 

[fred.]

Also made some progress with a paint brush on WWI heavy kit tonight


A7V, with camo added - used a couple of shades on the browns - though it doesn't really show in this photo


Holt tractor and 60pdr - not quite sure what to do with this next - it looks a bit flat.

Some mud should fix that!

Good work Fred!

Lovely stuff! Really like those forest spirits

[Techno]

Terrific work, Fred.
Particularly like the camo' on the tank.

Wheel-rims on the limber and gun could do with reducing to bare metal, Fred.

Yeah ..Even it was just a highlight of steel on the edging of the wheels and tracks to make it looked used , though maybe a muddier look would be more apt

[fred.]

Thanks chaps.

I think I will go for steel on the wheel rims first, then a light amount of mud. I'll probably put another highlight on the green metal work, and add a fair bit of shading to the canvas canopy, as thats mostly what you see!

WWI Heavies

Did some detailed highlighting on the Holt tractor and gun. And painted up the crew. I think this is nearly there - get it based and dirtied up a bit tomorrow





Also added some markings and a brown wash to the A7V


(I'll not show you the other side   )

Looks great Fred,

Those highlights on the tractor/gun wheels look the biz - nicely judged
