Here are some vehicles that I have been working on lately. I am painting various vehicles and hardware, transports and combat vehicles, without any specific plan, I just paint what ever I feel like, knowing that all of them will be used one way or another, if not in the game per se, they will be used as terrain and to create atmosphere.
First out are a Warlords Phanomen lorry, Warlords Stug IIIG and a Marder II from Die Waffenkammer.

Phanomen Granit H25 Truck

Stug IIIG

Marder II

At the moment I have a Waffenkammer Stug IV, Pz IV, Panther G and a Köningstiger. Warlords Opel Blitz, Schwimwagen, BMW and a Kübelwagen on the painting table. I will post pics as they get read.
I have also started out a Wirbelwind and a Marder IIIM in 1/48 that will be incorporated at a later stage.

I am currently building up forces for Rules and Engagement and NUTS!, all (eccept the Köningstiger) will belong to a Kampfgruppe from 2SS Das Reich, wich are one of my favourite units from WWII. I will propably bolster the forces with some LAH and 12SS as well, to get some variety to the vehicles and troops used.
I have lots of miniatures on the table as well, in various stages of completion, pictures will follow as they get ready and are presentable.

Some of the miniatures that will be used for NUTS! and other games related to WWII. Pulpy but with a WWII theme, so I hope that they will be allowed in here, otherwise just let me know and I will remove them.
The pilot will serve as Luftwaffe liason officer for my panzergrenadieren.

These pictures are doing your vehicles and miniatures no justice, dear friend. Only a fraction of the work you've put into them is coming through in these photos. Yet still, they rock my socks off

I know Fredrik, I utterly suck at this whole photographing thing

Love those vehicles. How did you do the weathering?

Heya Simon

I am greatly humbled when you ask me something about painting, and I will send you a pm where I can try to explain a bit and hopefully make it comprehencable.

With a little tweaking in ACDsee I think they may be closer to how they are IRL. Very worn and dirty frontline look

Lovely work on the vehicles, well done.

Great looking vehicles and miniatures so far. I wish I could weather my vehicles like that!

P.S. I feel your pain on the photography. Ugh.

Heya DFlynSqrl

Actually, you can weather your vehicles like that. Its just a matter of getting some experience with an airbrush, some oil paints + white spirits and make thin washes, also get some pigments, either from a regular artists shop or use MIG alternatively AK Interactive. Also the chipping effects are not that hard to learn how to do. Experiment a bit with various greys and browns, and it will not take you long time to get there. The main thing is, dare to do it!

By the way guys, thanks for the kind words, its really nice to hear!
Photography on the other hand... thats the devils work! :-P

Here are some new stuff that will be added to the forces... SS runes removed due to the rules of the forums, I forgot that they where not allowed, I thought it was only for the Swastika proper.

Schwimwagen for my recon and or HQ units

Kübelwagen för my recon and or HQ units

A 7.5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18 that can be used either as infantry support or as terrain

I will get some pics of some newly painted infantry and character miniatures up later today.

Beautiful stuff! Richard

Superb. Your vehicles really look as if they have come off the front line after some serious action.

The best I can do is a qucik dry brush so they look dirty!

Galland · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2012, 07:52:54 PM »

Thank you guys, much appreciated! Actually, I havent used any drybrushing at all on any of the vehicles I think. The Balkenkreuzes and SS runes are made with a stencil and airbrush, same on all vehicles.

Both of these vehicles and the poor fieldgun accidently went flying since our cat freaked out and made a mess out of the model table, but I have managed to get most parts and get them together again.
