...and two more...
;-)
More or less my 1st 15mm posting.
Flames of War 15mm British 2pdr. Portee and a light truck.

Both are for my upcoming British and Commonwealth Vehicle Compendium (see: http://www.agisn.de/html/british_vc.html (http://www.agisn.de/html/british_vc.html)).

Very nice Agis.  I hope that desert rat was a decal.  If you freehanded that on 15mm I'm just going to cry.   ;)

Skin: Citadel Tallarn flesh, 1 highlight with a bit mixed in white
Uniform: That is a tricky one. I always use a wild mixture of the following Vallejo paints: 821, 824, 856. After looking at various historical photos all Desert uniforms seemed to be in various degrees of bleaching. So I deliberately change colours a bit. The technique for 15mm is always the same for me. Base colour, wash, 1 highlight in base colour again. 2nd highlight in base colour plus some white.
Done!

Thank you for the info, Agis! I've completely ignored citadel tallarn flesh till now, but I like the color. I should give it ago for my 28mm.
