Camo Patterns

Good sites! Exactly what I needed. Thanks Agis and RC. :)

Check out the 1/6 Panther. What is the guy gonna do with THAT thing?

Play some large scale wargaming, I suppose. Wonder what he's using for infantry? 8)
 
I was just reading Matt's article about building and painting an army in a day and was impressed, looking at all his options and which model companies he used. Then I had a thought that chills me to my bones: "I've never seen Panthers in panzer grey, I think dunkelgelb was the standard before they were introduced, and the german cross wasn't painted on the bow like that."

:shock:

I've become one of those gamers. :lol:

No offense intended, Matt's army is beautiful and he should be proud of it. Now I'm just going to go hide behind the stacks of WW2 library books I've built into an accurate reproduction of a normandy bunker. :oops: :wink:

Lawn gnomes and jockey statues?

Possibly, but I doubt the moms will enjoy be stopped by 7year old feildjagers asking for thier soldtenbuch.

"Your papers, Frau. Schnell, bitte."
 
"I've never seen Panthers in panzer grey"

I have. The quickest example I've found in the library is in the Squadron "Armor in Action" volume on the Panther whch as a grey one (albeit with a brown camo scheme applied) in Berlin in 1945. :)

Where was this article? If it is possible to paint an army in a day I might just pain mine. :wink:
 
Sheesh, kind of makes me wish I had gone with 1/72 scale now...

Then again, I would have to make new terrain. It would have been a whole lot cheaper and easier to find models though.

Just do both scales! I have my germans in 28mm and 20mm.
Soviet only 20mm. Japanese 20mm, Brits 20mm (Pacific) and 28mm Europe.
The terrain (besides buildings) mix very well!
 
About the "Army in a day" article; Didn't anyone notice that Matt writes about buying a Revell set and an Esci set? Talking about converting the MG's on boxes (which are meant to go in the Esci Hanomag kits really) -- but then the pictures show lots of Airfix figures? And the MG's on boxes are nowhere to be seen?

So it makes me wonder if he just wrote the article and then watched TV all day 8)
