Only 1 week to go, I’ve grabbed every spare hour I can find to paint, which really isn’t that much.
Here’s a very blurry image of 2ic, 1st platoon and the Stugs
A close up of the Stugs
And a close up of first platoon
I used the new airbrush on the Stugs, it was such a different experience to using the cheap chinese copy. So unbelievably smooth and able to operate at much lower pressures. Only problem is it’s so sensitive, I pull the lever back as small a movement as I can and the paint is coming and its coming fast leading to a lot of times when I had a splodge of paint in a small area.
I started to get the hang of it and hope it’s just a muscle memory thing. I tried some modulation, but in my haste I applied gloss varnish before the sepia wash had fully dried. Damn!
The troops are really basic – tabletop level only..but that’ll do for a tournament.
Still to go…I have 1st platoon, HMGs and the plane, which is had an accident 🙁
More to come…

Looking good Dave!
Are the stugs in "Winter" camo? a little hard to tell from the picture but if they are it looks really good!
I saw them the other day up close, the StuG's look frakking awesome! Shame the 6pdr's ruined them
I went with good old grey for the stugs. Mostly to make it easy to say these grey ones are StuHs and these Dunkelgelb are Stugs.
Also I've been playing a lot of world of tanks and my Stug is grey…I think it had an effect 🙂
