Happy accident
Halfords grey undercoat
Lifecolour brown
Vallejo Mech Rust Texture
Flory models sand
Vallejo rust pigment dusting.

I used to work in a narrow boat yard so there was a lot of raw unfinished steel and welding. 
The welds were always shiny and the plate surface mottled and rusty.
Admittedly it wasn't third best Russian armour plate!

Second batch done. Need to place them on a table see how they look.  I've got another 5 hulls printed.  Plan is to make turrets in the same state, maybe cast wheels too.  This is obviously the goods recieving shed (before it was bombed) hence the stored part finished components

Thanks, the bare metal tanks are legendary... But there seems to be little consensus on if they really existed in bare metal. 

My interpretation is they were damaged tanks returned to fight. 

I've some factory militia in progress too wargames Atlantic partisans with various weapon swaps.  Couldn't use a quarter of them as they have obvious zip up jackets which doesn't really fit!

Try these. Designed specifically for the job.

Nice work on the T-34s btw.

Saw them, the only thing that puts me off is the random figures provided, I really don't like duplicates.  I know they will try and send different poses but...

Militia

Are they the new Wargames Atlantic Partisans?

[Rich H]

Yes with various head swaps and weapon swaps.  There are about 15 more with rifles.  Ideally I'd swap out the generic rifles for moisin nagants but it got too difficult so I left them.  They will be various shades of brown, dark blue and grime.

mean Warlord plastic arms - the non padded jacket variant - do not fit the Atlantic torsos?

[Rich H]

Not easily no, all the Soviet arms have jacket cuffs which don't match the jackets and the rifle arms don't fit very well.  The German arms work better (the flag bearer has German arms)

[brunei35]

Thanks Rich for clarification
