Caunter
Greetings from ozstralia. First attempt at Caunter. On a coolbank crusader. Took over 5 hours of masking and spraying colours.
Let us know what you think or should change. Used Coolbanks base as main colour then added Tamyia Xf-21 Sky(light green), Xf-20 medium grey and Xf-59 dessert yellow. Xf-24 Dark gray was purchased as well but not used as i thought it would look to busy. Paint was in short supply back then as well. Cheers Recruit Mac.

Re: Caunter
She looks alright to me mate.
im certainly no early British armour follower but from what I do know, yours looks pretty damn good.
A classic example of the odd desert camo on a well known but miserable Crusader .
I like your work.
Can you define the actual colours you used ?
