Into Uniform

So here they are with an upward coat of Cam Dark Green and a downward coat of  Field Grey.

Now comes the tricky part - all that indistinct detail.

I'm worried that there may be a tinge of the base green showing through but, so far, I can see no difference between these and the black undercoat ones.

(In truth, the main reason for using the green is that I bought a can for the kids at Swell School and it's hardly been used!)

I've sent off for 'Colours of War' a painting guide, hoping it's much better than the FoW one.

If so, things might improve though I already realise that highlighting needs to be 'louder'.

German reinforcements approaching slowly

I've faffed around with the Shermans enough and, as there are no decals (!) I've returned to the German troops.

I've base sprayed Caliban Green thinking if I missed any of the dark green, it would be invisible.

Nope. It doesn't disappear into the background as it's such a different green.

As well as that, I now have to paint odds and ends black as a shadow before painting them. (such as the ammo for the machine guns)

As well as the remaining troops, I've dealt with the two gun crews at the same time, including the Cossack acrobat.
