Hehe
We should get a military modelers thread sticky!

Figured I would show all the PR dudes!!!!

LMK what you think.

I repainted some 21st soldiers in a correct color for there parsons jackets..(they where not really khaki Afaik, more of a greenish color) for my operation cobra diorama.
I plan on getting 4-6 more US figures wearing the M1943 Field Jacket and maybe mix that with some pacific style camo pants.
BTW LMK on the camo it was a first time painting pacific camo.

next is some 1/18 stowage for the back of my sherman 76mm also used for my operation cobra dio.

3rd is some WIP of my Oper Cobra dio :r.

And last but not least is a custom sdkfz 251 unmarked. I may leave it unmarked and just add a basic cros to the sides of it.... still not sure. I know that in the later part of the war not all the vehicles where marked. But LMK

Verry nice painting on those models.

I haven't touched a scale model since I was about 10. Hoping to get back into it, this time with some bigger tanks such as the CR2 which I saw in a shop, but I now regret not buying it then and there as it was $30 and now someone else has snatched it up...

Pretty sexy Hanomag you got there. Could you also post a full picture of the 76mm Sherman? I would like to see it in detail.

Actually the sherman 76 is a scratch built. The bottom half/road wheels and track are from a 1/18 forces of valor sherman. and the hull is just about done completely scratch built!

But I have not even started the turret yet....so about 1-2 more weeks left on this sucker!

Well the 1/18 tiger 1 is about done..

And some of the 1/6 is almost... I could not wait xD

The SS in the tropical uniform is a boxed un modded dragon fig

if you look through his videos, he has a tutorial on how to make them like he did

[flyboy_fx]

I saw but paper is to small to look scaled right so I am making them out of cloth.

He is good @_@ Yup hand plugging the grass is how you do it... well long tall grass. there are other ways of doing short grass... But I usually use paint brush bristles.
