Old BF A9 Cruisers... finished at last
« on: 21 June 2011, 03:32:14 AM »



These 15mm (1:100 scale) models of the A9 Cruiser Mk.1 are Battlefront's old casts; they've since been remastered, but I haven't seen any of the new ones in the wild so I don't know how they compare. These ones were given to me by my friend Steve.

I've painted them in BEF livery, circa 1940. It's taken me an age to get them finished, partly because I'm concentrating my efforts almost exclusively on 6mm micros these days.

Nice work! I like your highlighting, it's not too subtle and not too brash.

I used Mike Stamer's recipe for the Khaki Green No.3 in Vallejo ModelColor acrylics: It consists of 1 part 822 (German Camo Black Brown), 1 part 888 (Olive Grey) and 7 parts 921 (English Uniform).

Dark Green No.4 is just straight VMC 888 (Olive Grey).

Not a 15mm man, but they are lovely. :)
