Nice work Nik

Looks very nice Nik. Glad to see that the camera is fixed .

Thanks guys...

Yep- camera is sorted now, but not my brain...there are some pics to add in / swap out here - hoping that Matt can unlock for me later so I can adjust. I've been camping & I think my brain is still on Exmoor

Excellent - that's their courage (almost) in positive numbers then!

Allo Allo is top-notch: and you can get Series 1 & 2 for £5 incl UK P&P here:

Nikharwood, exellent work you made on painting these vehicles. Could you please share with us the technique you used?

Great work Nik, nice to see Italians and not hoards of Konig Tigers and Panthers, nice difference on the table, and very nicely painted too. Cheers

Of course...here you go [& some of my standard techniques are linked from here BTW in handy PDF format: http://nikharwood.pbworks.com/10mm+Painting+ ]

These are Vallejo Game Color references [most of which have GW equivalents].

From spray black undercoat:

Non-camo vehicles:
Basecoat: Yellow Olive
Highlight: Yellow Olive + Khaki: 60:40

Camo - command vehicles:
Basecoat: Desert Yellow
Highlight: Desert Yellow + Khaki 60:40
Camo: Yellow Olive stripes

Camo vehicles
Basecoat: Desert Yellow
Highlight: Desert Yellow + Khaki 60:40
Camo: Yellow Olive splotch stippled
Camo: Beasty Brown + Dark Fleshtone 70:30 splotch stippled

All tracks:
Basecoat: Black
Highlight: Cold Grey

Wash everything with thinned Devlan Mud + Water 50:50
Rehighlight
Final featherlight drybrush highlight: Khaki

Then do bases - and purposely hit the lower portions of the vehicles with these colours to weather:
Wetbrush: Charred Brown
Overbrush: Beasty Brown
Overbrush / stipple: Leather Brown
Drybrush / stipple: Plague Brown
Drybrush [light]: Bone White

Where I cut some corners here was on the camo: normally I would paint the camo colours on & then highlight inside the patterns with a further lightened highlight...looks great but takes time & I wanted to see how quickly I could do these  

Hope that helps!

Thanks  I must admit that I do own two Tiger Is & 3 Panthers - but they hardly ever see action...I much prefer my STUGs & PZ I / II / III / IVs 

Thank you Nik! I saved the copy of your vehicle painting guide on my pc. It will come handy when I will be painting Great War tanks.

Yea mate, its good to have the heavy stuff, it looks cool.  But to play realistic the old Pz 3, 4 etc have to be there.  Ive ben thinking about a French WW2 army, must check the website see if Pendraken do French- they,d be different, Char Bs etc, I know theres a few firms doing 20mm but 10mm? - Ill have a look.  Saying this though Im still painting 10mm Russian Naps and Ive got hoards of AWI Yankies to paint up (must get those new General packs), so nawt happening too quick.  Anycase keep on painting mate - they look great.
regards
