Allied Open Fire Army - Finished

As promised yesterday here's some shots of my completed (finally) allied Open Fire army. The pictures aren't that good, it's really hard getting good pictures of infantry in this scale :-p

But anyway hope you enjoy, and hopefully I will have the german side finished Soon('ish)!

Sherman Platoon (2) - Battlefront - Open Fire - Finished

Evening everyone!

I managed to get the last of my Open Fire Shermans finished today even though I had a serious hangover.... 

Quite glad with the result I managed to get with these, a lot better than the first 3 shermans I painted for this army that's for sure :)

This also means that my allied Open Fire army is now finished and I will probably make a post displaying that tomorrow at some point.

Next project will probably be to finish my Deathstroke figure and then I will continue work on my AA trucks. At some point in October the Panther Campaign on Armorama will start and I will be doing a 1/35 Tamiya Panther G, early for this. So expect to see something about that build soon'ish.

Anyway here's some more pictures, hope you like them. As usual comments, suggestions etc. are more than welcome :)

Sherman Platoon (2) - Battlefront - Open Fire

Hello everyone!

As I might have mentioned it other posts, I'm still working on the last of my Open Fire Shermans, and I finally got the time to actually get a bit of work done on them, mind you there's still quite a lot of work left, but I'm getting there.

They might have gotten a bit to worn, but on the other hand they are Shermans so they will probably be destroyed quite a lot in FoW games, so I guess it's sorta fitting :-p

They have been painted basically the same way as the rest of my allied Open Fire tanks so not much to report about that.

As you can see the overall weathering is pretty much done, I doubt I will do much more anyway. 

This past weekend I also managed to get started on another little project for my actually FoW army, so here's a little teaser :)

Work on these will begin when the Shermans are done and I probably should also get my Deathstroke figure finished before these.

Anyways, until next time

US Airborne Platoon - Battlefront - Open Fire - Finished

Helle everyone!

I haven't had the time to really get work done on my Panthers, so instead I finished my Airborne platoon. I'm really happy with the result I managed to get, but I surely was reminded why I play a panzer army :-p god I really don't enjoy painting infantry. Painting 28 figures at once nearly killed me, just painting the base colors was so fucking boring, which I why this took so long to finish.

Base colors painted

I started by doing the bases and then added all the base colors (so took quite a while for me). Afterwards I did a black wash on everything (except the skin). This added some nice fast shadows.

Shading done using a black wash

I then did 2 highlight on all surfaces. First the base color and then base color + white, I like this easy and fairly fast way of painting infantry to a decent standard, it still does take time though.


Overall it was a nice experience painting some allied infantry and I did learn a lot of things, primarily never to prime infantry white.....never. Next infantry project are the panzergrenadiers from the Open Fire set, but got a few other projects I need to do before I will start on these.

Next up are the last 3 shermans and my 5 panthers.


Let's have a few more pictures. (Sorry for a fairly shitty pictures, just got a new camera and really haven't mastered it yet :-p think I might need a better lense for this scale.

Hope you enjoyed reading.

Stay tuned for more.
