Comrade! (Part 21 - M3 Half-Track WIP)

Got inspired to paint shortly prior to midnight last night. In the end decided to slap some whitewash on my Lend Lease Soviet M3 Half-Track so it’d match better with the rest of my Winter project. Also got the chipping/weathering done as well, just mud and snow to go then a quick coat of dulcote and this lovely model is done.







I hope to have this finished this weekend. After that, who knows what'll take my fancy? (Heck knows there's a crap load of stuff waiting to be gotten to!!!)

    Great work, Dai, and clearly a moment of inspirational madness has paid off big time. You really are the master of winter weathering imho!! I can also help with suggesting some mini ranges if nothing does take you fancy ;-)

      Ha! Cheeky so and so.

      Thank you eversomuch for the high praise Simon. You caused a loutish-looking grown man to blush.

    Oh that looks great.

    Any chance of you posting a list from your closet of doom ?

      Oof! That would be an undertaking... So many different things. I'll see what I can do though. :)

    Nice! You're on a roll. I just fucked up the boy churning butter I was working on with the milk maid set. My wash somehow separated and I put a big blob of straight black on him. :(

    Hi Dai, thanks for all the posts! I think your comment "why wasn't I using my shiny new blog " was the kick up the arse to actually start one! I think it'll be the autumn before I start on my soviets, until then it's pike and shot and napoleonic. Thanks again.
    Best Iain
