I too am interested in the axe and pick-axe head. Is it a state secret, or would you be willing to reveal your painting technique for them, as they look excellent?
Off the point, but why does my spell checker not recognize "axe"? Is it one of those words that our old colonies across the Atlantic spell differently?

Can you do a close up of the axe and pick head please.
A single section of Churchill track to my address here ?
I just had a germ of an idea and I reckon a section of track would make it
Resin would be fine !

Re: Hybrid firefly
Nice additions. For the tools, might just have applied good old drybrushing? These tools are again with molded on clamps? They look good enough. Unless you want the unpainted brass bling. I feel no need anymore to do those 4-6 parts tiny and delicate pe things.
Re: Hybrid firefly
Hey gents, so the metal is fairly straight forward. Base coat of Tamiya gun metal, then a wash of ak fresh mud (although any brown diluted oil would do), then I give a little dry brushed highlight of Vallejo natural steel, finally a coat of sin industries filter for dark green (which is a very thinned down brown) which tones everything back down again
