A second all-vehicle team in a row from Doc. You are a madman, sir.  ;)

The French are nicely turned out, the famous red pants turned out very striking!

I actually quite enjoy painting vehicles. I know that's relatively unusual *shrug*.

Are those tanks 28mm? Nice work, I love the look of the old Japanese vehicles.

Nice paint job Doc.

Thanks for your comments Wirelizard and Argsilverson. For the red trousers, I use a base of blood red then give them a wash of a 50/50 mix of red and chestnut wash (old GW). I have some kind of "reputation" going on this forum about me using no shadings or highlights... Somehow this is rather amplified by my poor skills at photography which tend to "flatten" the colors lol

Perhaps try slightly deeper red shading. I ink wash all my reds with chestnut ink now as I suck at red!!!!  :) I then highlight them back to blood red, very nice.  :)
