It is time to start showing you the army that went with the Operation Sting Monte Cassino display board. It was a big challenge to tackle this army, as it was so different from the Early War periods. The equipment, the uniforms, and the vehicles.
I tried to make things seem a bit more Ad Hoc, and cobbled together from various sources. This is why each vehicle is a different camo scheme.
I tried to make this seem less like a "stock" kit as well by sculpting stowage, and converting a standard infantry figure to be the gunner.
I did not use an airbrush to paint any of the camo patterns, and each was done the "old fashioned" way with my hairy sticks! I used Secret Weapon weathering paints and the Reaper liner paints to create all the shading and weathering effects.
Here's a peek at the interior. Hopefully I will get a chance to do some video tutorials on new vehicles as I expand the army. I have a number of video tutorials on my Facebook page, as well as on my YouTube channel:
This view shows you the sandbags that I created, using some apoxy sculpt. Again, the effects all had to be applied rapidly and dry quickly, as the tournament was fast approaching.
I also have some historical painting guides on my Patreon Page now, including an entire 11 hour series on my Winter Soviets, using oil paints. Check that out here:
