Hi all
Please can you give me some paint schemes for the centurion tank - vivid ideally :-[
Dave
Look up Berlin brigade camo, it's mad!

That might be too difficult to paint, as I type with black fingers from undercoating 8)
EDIT: Quote fixed.

Whaaaaa?
Berlin definitely, all those blue-grey squares. The Swedish Cent was a nice tri-colour: two tone green and patches of reddy-brown ... but really what? Is this a genuine query or just another twist in the Centurion shaped dagger the seems to be permanently embedded in my spine?
Accurate but rather drab I'm afraid :(.

I'm too caring a person to do that O:-) I couldn't resist the urge to cast off the master mould, I have five models in front of me and I'm drooling :x
Um ... Leon. Isn't that a Chieftan? I'm just asking because, well I don't know how to put this, it's not, you see, the same as a Centurion, and if, come October the 1st, the Centurion that we (the plates in the Pendraken track) have all been waiting for, turns out to be a little bit Chieftan shaped, then there may be some people who will be a little bit disappointed.
Just thought I'd point it out.

I've taken a picture of the work bench it has Centurions, T54/55, traction engine, steam roller, pink panther, landrover ambulance, landrover LWB soft top/hard top, russian 76mm Infantry gun, amr french tank, falklands 105, argy 105. I've taken a picture it now has to go to leons abode to be uploaded
Thank you, kind Sir.
=D>
Traction engine, steam engine and AMR French tank! Oh yes please :). Oh and possibly the Centurion and T54/55 :D.
Is the photo of the Chieftain a hint you are going to make one.......
PLEASE PLEASE.

Also somewhat in excess of 1:150th scale too, I'd reckon.
I did some MF Berlin Brigade Chieftains in 10/12mm for my Very Modern British Civil War:

It's called OOOH shiny syndrom :P
Tell me about it: this stuff is worse than crack :(
Good stuff Nik, I did one in 6mm a while back - couldn't get it too look right :'(, so back to grey-green and black.

Yep, and no needle tracks, no damaged nostrils and no dilated pupils. Better still, no "possession" charges. 8-} 8-} 8-}
Quote from: Hertsblue on 31 August 2013, 09:08:48 AM
Yep, and no needle tracks
Except when you file your finger instead of the model
Quoteno damaged nostrils
I think we have all breathed in super glue by accident
Quoteno dilated pupils
Until we start trying to paint buttons and facial hair on 10mm figures
QuoteBetter still, no "possession" charges
Unless caught by SHMBO accepting suspicious parcels marked Pendraken from the postman

Trust me, if you're married, there are possession charges :(
I am, but I can hold her dolls house as hostage. :d
;D Right men...operation dolls house. First platoon, take out Ken by the swimming pool. Second platoon, immobilize Barbie's fun jeep.
Third platoon on me; let's get this done.

I don't know if anyone (fsn?) has spotted what is going to be on the front cover of WI in October? No you cannot have three guesses! ;D ;D ;D
Mollinary
T-54/55 ;)?
M60 :D
Can I have 2 guesses?
The The electric Aubriot-Gabet "Fortress" or the Frot-Laffly landship?
I think you've hit the nail on the head Fenton :D ;).

There both real, so legitimate guesses! :P
They are real but as for legitimate... :P :P :P
Its not my fault that publications put the same old mundane tat on the their front covers :D

Leon has paid to have the whole front page. He wanted to write an apology for not being able to meet an upcoming deadline ;D

Hi
I held the only pendraken centurion in existence in my sweaty little palms today.
It was at the Border Reiver show in Gateshead where Dave gave me the privilege of touching it.
It`s even lovelier in real life, I won`t sleep tonight .
Am I the first member Of the forum to see/touch one.

You have Fondled a Pendraken Centurion ???? FSN will be extreemly jealous :D :D :D

Perhaps they should only produce the one, then auction it off.
If we all bid we could get FSN to sell his cat, betroth his daughter to a rich arab for the dowry money, and pawn (not porn- I know what this forums like) everything he owns just to buy it ;D ;D ;D
Or is that too cruel :-\ ?
Or incredibly funny :D ?

Very, VERY funny ;D ;D ;D
I think that's a cracking idea...I'd bid just so I could melt it down and cast it into Roman officers... :D

Was it as lovely as I dreamed? Did it glisten with an internal light? Did other tanks immediately shy away from it as they sensed it's power? When you held it did you immediately become more attractive to women? (Sorry, you were at Border Reiver, there were no women.) And it didn't look Chieftanish?
... and why haven't I got it? >:( >:(

Sorry...sold em all at Reiver ;D ;D ;D

That sounds like personal experience. Tell me, is it that bad?
