Tank has decals and some mud drying.

Picked up a pack of Offensive Miniatures SS troops at Salute. Wanted to have another go at some SS camo.

Nice, I have those figures to do 12SS for a pint sized campaign. Offensive do some very nice figures.

Almost forgot; there were eleven blokes in the blister pack.
Here's the MG with an additional chap with extra ammo.

very nice..   I did those as well, and Offensive were great, I ordered the platoon pack but asked for additional ammunition handlers, and they added those in:

Finished with the Tiger. Although could probably do with some soot around exhaust tops and muzzle.

Thanks Tom.
This wasn't too taxing. It's essentially just a coat of dark yellow. I used an airbrush on this, but you could just use a rattle can and spray it. Then use something like Blu-Tack & masking tape, to mask where you wanted the stripy bits and spray them with rattle cans as well. Then a wash, then touch up the lighter areas. I just gave the whole thing a light dry brush with the base colour, using a big fat soft brush, to fade the camo a bit. Then chuck some watered down pigments at it, once dry fix it all, bit of a pin wash...
