RUSK (Neo Sov) Reinformcents.....Glasnost is definately over.....

Its been while coming....however this will be my first vehicle release....Horraahhh I say. It still needs to be printed , cleaned, molded and made ready, however this will be one of my first releases so I thought Id give a sneak peak!

Its the  BTR 290, professionally sculpted by CoolHands 3d models. A mighty fine job he did to! (I think :))


What on earth are those VTOL jets and fans I hear you say....well lets just say the BTR can also provide its own long distance lift capability! The lift capability is removed until a long distance drop is required and travels like conventional vehicles. The VTOL harrier type exhaust/jets power the lift fans with assistance from 6 thrusters.

 The BTR can carry 10 troops and packs heavy cannon and Gatling gun HMG for support.

Their has been several unconfirmed reports of variations....

Ill be adding some additional renders with a little more detail as I have them. Hope you like them.

Quick and Dirty Painting Tutorial

I thought this might be helpfull for some people. However to be honest most people who visit this site can paint far better then me anyhow! :)


Stage 1 Clean

Stage 1 Prime - I use Halfords Car Primer - Grey

Stage 2 Clean again. I find the primer shows up more I need to clean. Not that I often do!

Stage 3 - Airbrush of paint base coat    Vallejo Russian Uniform (odd one LMG  is German grey Air)

Stage 4 - Wash  I use devlan mud or army painter strong tone and dark tone for LMG guy

Stage 5 - Block Colours -  Vallejo  Khaki for webbing and boots, GW battlegrey for weapon and LMG guy. Skin I use Tallarn Flesh

Stage 6 - Wash webbing again - Same wash colors. Face with Ogren Flesh wash

Stage 7 - Highlight - I use Coat d'arms Khaki for khaki areas and any mid grey for weapons

Stage 8 - craft pva base and dip in model railway ballast gravel

stage 9 - craft pva and sprinkle static grass

stage 10 - Varnish


Sounds slow, however each stage is really quick and drying time is minimal

Hope that's of some use all

Painted Commando Forces

Same method, Commando Forces Pack.

I have varied the LMG guys paint scheme to see how a night scheme would work

I'm just working on a Tutorial for anyone interested in the speed painting technique.

HQ squad

Using the same methods

Here is the HQ pack

Ive started the commando/SAS pack, were Ill do a WIP for any interested in the quick and dirty method I use!

cheers

Support Weapons Paint job

Using my trusty quick and dirty paint method, undercoat, air brush base, block paint details and wash method, here are some of my Commonwealth Brits. They are from the support weapons team pack. Two man AT team, sharpshooter , GPMG gunner and AutoGrenade launcher


Ive also created a HMG gunner team with the same method. Not great, however all nice enough for the table I think. This is part of the Heavy HMG weapons set.

What will replace the mortar?

As per norm, I've been flicking ideas around in my head, this time  in regards to the humble mortar and my thoughts about how it would exist. My first thoughts were it wouldn't, however after conversations with my serving mate (off for his 5th Afghanistan tour) he is confident that the mortar will still be around, maybe more accurate, however it will be there. In fact he thinks the British love of light mortars will also still be there to, as the Grenade launchers don't quite do the same job as well.

So....what will it look like?

Would love to hear your ideas around this? Anything I use and make, ill be sure to send some samples to the ones I use!

Speaking of which,I've a RUSK mortar in the pipeline, whom one of my supporters deserves credit for. Ill be creating an additional heavy weapons pack for with mortar, recoil-less rifle and heavy HMG soon. Just need to finish the mortar


Thanks

Commonwealth Marines first to Land! Full hard suited kit for high hazard environments.

Just painted up some of my hard suited marines. I'm quite pleased with them and they were very quick to do.  Heavy dry brush, army painter quick shade and a touch up.

As it says on the tin, thought I'd post a WIP of my Chinese forces
