Thanks for the Camo tutorial...very helpful.

One quick question...at the end you say to Glaze with a thin Delvan mud.  Do you thin with water or use some kind of medium to dilute it?

Thanks!

Just water. Thin it down so it does little more than lightly tint the paint work. Better it be too thin as you can always give it another glaze when dry.

WOW, some really superb paintjob here 
You are really talented. And I really envy your painting skills. Your blog is full of eyecandies, a real pleasure to browse
The tutorial is really appreciated and I would be happy to see more, particulary for skin and grey fabric (both stunning!).
Keep going!

Finished off the model from the tutorial just before lunch.



I cheated a little with the collar patch runes and just used slanted lines. I attempted an accurate rendition a few times on previous models but at this size they just looked indistinct and messy so the simpler lines give a better impression. Also to make it easier to form the shape of the collar patches I actually cut out tiny lozenges of paper and glued them onto the collar with PVA before painting them. It might sound like a lot of hassle but it's actually a lot quicker than trying to paint a perfect shape.

Thanks again for the comments all.

Last of the bunch...



I'll take a set of decent photo's (well, better photo's at least) either over the weekend or early next week.

I've had a squad of WW2 late war Germans sitting prepped and ready to paint since 2006, could be tempted to do a few of those now (but they're competing for my attention with a crap load of other models so who knows  ).

[Andym]

Love-er-ly!! Those final glazes give it that smooooooth quality!

[Slayer]

words do not express how awesome those figures are.....

Now that, is a top tip. Thank you

You're welcome 

I might try the same for army collar insignia in the future.

I'm not Sonny, that's Galland whom these models are for. 

You're welcome all the same 

Hope the little tutorial is useful to folks.

Okay, my mistake SCL.

Cheers,
