Yep, I'm generally a clean look kinda guy.

Not that I don't like the battered, weathered look.

But I'm also not very good with inks and such and at my age, I really don't want to spend the time learning how to use them when I have a ton of stuff that needs to be done.

Working on a prototype tank paint scheme. If I like it, I'll post a photo.

So I finished a basic MkII tank and in general I find it quite pleasing.

I'm not very much of a vehicle painting person, so not the greatest I admit, but good enough!

With my test tank done I am now assembling line painting 8 more. Could be awhile before my next update.

Cheers!

That is just lovely.

I much regret I didn't go for this instead of Mars Attacks.

A quick question, will you be adding any company markings to your tanks or leaving them as is?

leadfool · « **Reply #22 on:** August 02, 2014, 10:01:01 PM »

I think that 1908 would make it ESF....Edwarian Sci Fi.

You can still justify a blue paint scheme, just say that the wonks have determined that Martians, coming form a Red planet are unable to see the color blue very well. Period/fluff specific camouflage!

For inspiration, if still needed at all, the film steamboy is well worth a watch

Just remembered it now....

Thanks, all!

Nope, I won't be putting any markings on the tanks... at least for now. I was thinking numbers at minimum, but at the present don't have enough decals to do that. Perhaps in the future.

As for blue tanks...

... I have a bunch more tanks left over...

Back to the grind, working on the base coat of the rest of my armor ATM.

Test vehicle looked good. Looking forward to seeing the unit.

Ray Rivers · « **Reply #26 on:** August 18, 2014, 05:01:57 PM »

Almost finished with 8 tanks... tough going though.

Ray Rivers · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2014, 03:36:22 PM »

Okay... here are my tanks:

MK II Co.

MK IIb Co.

MK III Co.

Bullseye

Iron Duke IV

Again, like I say, not the greatest as I don't do vehicles very much. I did mod the minis by replacing the MG with one you get on the sprue. In the end, I went with minimal decals using a Battalion Crest and a name for each tank. The decals came from Skytrex.

Hope you like them though.

Very nice indeed

Whats next on the cards?

Probably a couple Assault Tripods.
