Keeping busy

Despite oppressive heat, today I pushed myself into doing something. Although it was a challenge, with paint drying on the palette, I had a go at the Contrast painted Egyptians.

A spot of drybrushing and touching up and they don't look too shabby. The good thing is that you can go back over with Contrast paints as a pinwash to restore shading.


Meanwhile, the French and Indian War obsession continues with the purchase of more reference material:


I've also dug out some that I already had. I know now that painting with Contrast paints should hurry things up.

  5. Joao,
    Thank you for the kind words; the only 1:87 IDF M3 I'm aware of was the CMSC one, but converting the Roco version is relatively easy, although they are difficult to find these days.
    Perhaps a 3D printed version is the best option?
