RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Well I had a quiet day at home while Mrs Horses went to work I flew around the house doing all the jobs she had left me so I had them finished by dinner time , so how to fill the afternoon in ? While I'm still waiting for my tanks coming from mato and torro I thought paint some figures so I started with the American crew for the Pershing and bulldog then base coated the German crew and faces/hands done so they came out not to bad I think just the German crew to finish but as it's 23.15 Hrs I will post the pics tomorrow and you can tell me what you think

You "better" post some pictures Horses... because right now your crew bears a great resemblance to Herr Fritz's elusive Spaniard tank crew

Enjoy your evening Horses

Yep Piccy's wanted.
Especially the ones with you flying, did you take lessons or was it a natural reflex action.

Alpha flying come so naturally especially when I fall out of things lol but here are the pics sorry they are not clear as I had to take them on my ipad as I have no idea where I put my camera and sorry if these are not perfect as I copied off a couple of images off fleabay then improvised a bit (artistic Licence )so here are my German and American crew.







And now the German Crew but the pics in the turret is an old pantiger














well the hint and tips on here were brilliant after I had read through it and brushed up as I had not painted figures for a long time so opinions please ?

Nice pic's Horses.

Where did you get that shot of me on the beach,
It was at a rented villa and we were told the beach was private.
I bet you have one of those paperatsie lenses.

Your getting some good detail on there horses, might I suggest doing a little blending on your uniform colours to give shades and hues, Its hard to get eyes right and you've got the first rule bob on get them looking the same way , if you look at eyes they arn't white try using a little pink then colour the centres you can add a highlight to (little white dot that acts as a reflection then paint in the eyelids and other details after you've done the eyes this will help you get them looking a little less startled. I adore painting figures and am still learning myself a great place to check out is the military modelling site loads of bit by bit builds

Hi Horses,
Much better than mine would ever come out.. but I have no patience or talent for painting figures....

As a caption....for the last two ....might I suggest...

Zis Snow Is Deeper Zan it Looked !!..... Fritz.. stop stroking zat puppy ... and give us a hand out !!

Good Afternoon,
