Title: My first AT-43 re-paint
Post by: G2 on 17 June 2011, 02:33:45 PM

I have posted these images on other forums on the internet, but not here. So it is time to share them here too. Please Enjoy, feedback is most welcome.

Note: I do need to finish the bases.

Nice repaint. I like the weathering and scratches. Now all it needs is some good markings.
Maybe a Luftwaffe eagle or a version of the FJ jump badge on it.
I presume it will be helping out the early war FJ you have in the pics?

I look forward to seeing it in action.
Thanks
Amalric

Thank you, it was my first attempt at doing this sort of thing. Until this little 'Walking Machine', I have been painting little lead men. So I kinda guessed at how to do the scratches and the weathering. The scratches were just silver (GW Mithril Silver) 'flicked' across the painted body, or roughly painted on some of the hard edges.

I have a "photoshoped" version of one my photos, with some markings. And I would have to agree with you, some markings would look good.

Exellent spotting. Those are indeed early FJs. These were painted for a litle game I wanted to set up in Crete. Basically an early war, mediterranean battle on Crete, which inlvoves some German FJs, some early German Walkers (ie small easily transportable ones), a German supply submarine and some Commonwealth and Partisan fighters.

Nice work G2, I've seen those AT-43 suits used as SOTR Russians and Americans as well, they repaint very nicely.

I notice you're from Melbourne, if you're up for some SOTR, PM me, we've got 6 people at our club playing regularly now.

Nice work! Definitely done justice to one of my favorite vehicles from any range- I love those Red Blok Kolossi!  -I bought a whole bunch of them myself.
