Only 1?

Yup, any game that needs more than 1 vehicle of the same sort gets played in 10mm, life's too short to paint 10 similar 28mm AC's  ;D ;D ;D

I think those should be deleted from Peter's list.....I mean....If they were produced in black plastic (?)....You would even have to paint them.  ;)

Cheers - Phil  :)

Ha they were in shiny black plastic, so i went ahead and painted them matt black, drybrushed gunmetal on the ridges and teeth etc, then did a black wash, then a violet wash on the 'piping' on their body, and then gloss varnish and a gunmetal drybrush on the base.

The camera does not pick it up, but they have some subtle colour differences.

here you can see the metallic highlights better



and the violet shine is actually more visible when you take a blurry pic, go figure  ;D


Making them so glossy actually makes them quite reflective. Like in the movies where they look blueish and reddish under the different lights in the starships/ buildings.
