Sometime ago I asked painting advice for German armour. This then is the result. The photos are very bad as the light is dreadful so when better weather comes around...
These are all 1/56, 28mm.

They've come up very well - just the right mix of grittiness.
-
Are the halftrack crew all stuck together in a clump? They look great.
-
That is exactly the "size" of game I like what are the table's dimensions?
Gui

Nice work on your collection.
Cheers,
Helen

Beefy!
Good looking paint and brush work.
You have a major operation, a big do, which is exactly what our collections should give us. Work then play hard.
Well done.
Good luck getting a bigger table, it won't help, I know, we always need more armor. We'll just fill up the table. :)
-
Ta :)
The photos don't really do them justice. I'm far from the best painter in the world but they look a lot better in the lead, as it were.
James: Aye, the crew are plugs that lift out as one piece. They're kept in when the halftracks are carrying passengers then removed when they debus and the figures they represent put on the board.
The table is just 8 by 4, Gothic. But I'm working on what needs to be a lot more. But what we do is never a race is it, bits at a time. And a race implies a finishing line...

There are also FJ.

There are just as many Brits, a rifle platoon and a commando platoon which I'll try and grab equally crappy photos of at some point. Also a sub project for the snowy eastern front that I'll likewise get photos of at some point.

And the British armour. Again 1/56.

Superb.
Great to see so many 28mm tanks on one table.

Holy ravioli...that's a good bit of armour on that table there... :o

Great looking armies. :)

You've all been very kind. Thanks for the encouragement. :)

In the time since last the sacks of tanks have been weathered and a few additions made.

Excellent weathering! :-*
-
Lovely work :-* :-* :-*
How do you do the mud, it looks great.
-
Very impressive!
-
Nice collection of tanks!
The other option is ... 6mm lol
-
I know! Should have done it all in 20mm. But I started with RoE (I'll photo all the foot sloggers when I get back from being away, next week) and it all sort of grew.
Just Mig powders, Mac. More dusted on the allies (bar the recce) and caked on the axis.
Few more anyway.

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me in the hobby!!!!Just amazing!!!!!!
-
Great looking armour and vehicles :-* I'm (army)green of envy :D
-
Terrible, terrible shots here. Far too sunny. Think of them as place holders. These can split into regular army and commandos, or for big games fudged up together such as here.
