nova-Rus Zebu...

....then camo PEA version. Airbrushed (base coat and some panel fading), a Mig filter (blue for panzer grey),an oil filter (raw umber) and a lamp black oil wash in the recessed areas. Still a little wet here

A few minis....

....for sale. I will be having a bit of a clear-out over the next few weeks and will give the blog followers first option before posting elsewhere. Please leave a comment here if you wish to declare an interest.
First up - Pig Iron Heavy Infantry and one of their AFV's. Troopers have had Hasslefree head-swaps and the afv driver has been heavily converted. (I'm going to tidy and update the finish on the afv before quoting a price). More detailed pics to follow...

Zebu Cruisers and the next 'Bear'

great design and casting on the latest vehicle released by Antenociti's Workshop. I bought my two at Salute and as yet they haven't appeared on the website. They're busy stocktaking so keep checking back...
























The kit comes with the option of adding a fire support position on the roof - open or closed - and i've 'borrowed' one of the open ones to add to a 'Bear'. Ive marked the position and drilled and cut out the aperture on the roof to fit a figure.I'm not a fan of painting an area black and adding a half-figure so will probabley leave the hatch off the Zebus or add the closed option.


















I've also cut out the rear doors to have one open for loading/unloading scene.
