@all:Thank you for all the kind words. It's much appreciated :D
@Remgain: I'm sorry, but I can't reveal the paints just yet, as the recipe will be included in the upcoming book Setting the Scene 2: The Mediterranean (http://wargamingwithsilverwhistle.blogspot.com/search/label/Setting%20the%20Scene%202)by a Pat Smith.
Today it's back to the early period of the war due to the latest release for Chain of Command called Blitzkrieg 1940 (https://toofatlardies.co.uk/product/chain-of-command-blitzkrieg-1940-hard-copy-pdf-bundle/). It's full to the brim with useful information, new scenarios and some rules amendments to give you that extra "Early War Feeling".
I've been eyeing that little cutie that is Warlord Games' plastic Panzer 38(t) for a while now, but only now went ahead and got me one. It was painted up within a week and mighty pleased I am too.

On another note Pat of Wargaming with Silver Whistle (http://wargamingwithsilverwhistle.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-mediterranean-update-4-terrain-mat.html)fame has posted pictures of his new terrain mat along with the figures and tanks I painted up for his upcoming book Setting the Scene 2: The Mediterranean. So should you've not already done so anyway (if not, why not?) I encourage you to use the link provided above to pay his Blog a visit. It's definitely well worth your time, not only to see my shoddy brushmanship set in scene (no pun intended here) brilliantly, but more so for all the inspiration provided there.
