Aside from the nightmare of paper work that is involved with a home purchase, this place has been vacant for a little while and needs some work and maintenance. Please bear with me and I hope to be back to painting models/miniatures in the near future.
On a somewhat related note, I'm selling off some of my painted (and unpainted) miniatures to help fund some of the said maintenance. If you're interested, you can find my recently complete 1/285th Russian Village for sale on eBay here.
Please wish me luck on the mountain adventure... I'm not a "cold" person so I'm gonna need it.
Thanks!
Tanner
Sweet! Post rental rates when available ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Tanner,
ReplyDeleteMan I love your painting style. I look forward to seeing more.
Can I get a quick answer to a question? Sorry this post is out of place.
What colors do you paint your German helmets with? What highlights do you use for each? I use German grey and dark camo green but I can never make them pop out. I use all Vallejo paints. I am looking for a Normandy 1944 style.
Hi Tanner
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your home purchase,very nice, looks like you will be also busy setting up a new paint station
thanks JohnBond
Thanks guys :)
ReplyDeleteMCT - No rental rates here, this will be my little "escape from reality" sanctuary :)
Kelly... For just a painted helmet I typically use Vallejo 979 German Cam. Dark Green (although I sometimes you Fieldgrey too). The highlights are done by adding white until I'm happy with the look. For '44 style helmet covers it's even easier... I use the Vallejo Panzer Aces range: 345 Splinter Camo Base, 346 Splinter Blotches I, 347 Splinter Blotches II, and 348 Splinter Strips. If I'm painting a larger scale figure I might highlight the Blotches by adding a little white to the base color. Hope that helps.
John, thanks for stopping by, it's good to hear from you again.
Much appreciated. See you soon.
