It is a while since I did any work on this division (see previous posts: http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2010/12/7-armoured-division-1944-continued.html, http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2010/12/still-snowing.html), not least because I had forgotten all about it! Last weekend, however I opened it's (beautifully labelled) box file and was pleased to see the progress I had made last year. There still remains, however, the small matter of the armoured brigade, to say nothing of the AA & AT regiments and the transport for the infantry brigade.
I therefore set to with the drybrushing and slapped on the base coat of green. Hopefully I'll get more done this coming weekend.

I'm on with them now!
Nice conversion on that Crusader :)
I like seeing a work in progress.
It is interesting to note that you base your vehicles before painting. Maybe that is something I should try.
My last vehicle was undercoated black which is the same approach I take with figures, but was a first for vehicles. I'm still concerned it made the top coat too dark, but then it is a different batch of paint. Always a risk with projects undertaken over a long time.
I hope you wear a mask around that lot. It is always good to see progress shots.

It's not a conversion. At least not mine. It is a Frontline resin kit. I do, however, take full credit for gluing it together. All 4 parts...

I have experimented with many different 'styles' and undercoat colours. The most important thing with black is to ensure the paint is completely matt or the drybrushing will be a disaster. I speak from experience...

No mask needed now - the spray priming was done last year so I am no longer overcome by fumes when I open their box.
I don't worry about wearing a mask anymore. The brain damage is already done...
