Looking for recommendations for a decent looking Soviet Cold War era Green base colour / coloured primer (for #15mm vehicles) that’s in a rattle can please (I don’t do airbrushes) #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 #TeamYankee

I won’t use them for in game units (as they would be sat way back from the frontline fighting), but this box will of Soviet Rocket Launchers came up on EBay for half the retail price so I grabbed them. They’ll make nice objectives for my #ColdWarGoneHot games #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

I may be away from my painting desk, but it hasn’t stopped me picking up the core of my Soviet force for my #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot project #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 Good price from Zatu again www.board-game.co.uk/product/sovi...

These 3 will have to wait for a few weeks to get finished as I’m off to the land of Nouvion and Mme. Edith for some 1:1 scale painting. Don’t think I have died or anything, just absent for about 5 weeks #Adieu

Battlefront Spartans for my #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot project. Very versatile and detailed little kits, here being built as transports for Blowpipe teams and an OP for my off table mortars. Box also has options to make Strikers and Milan carrying variants. #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

This week’s painting update on the #15mm BAOR for my #ColdWarGoneHot project: I should have mentioned in addition to the armour, this week I’ve also painted & based a company of British infantry, 4 Milan Teams, 3 command stands, 2 SF GPMG, and a couple of mortars! #NORTHAG #7DttRR ##CWC2

Time to get this pair of #15mm Chieftans finished up for my #ColdWarGoneHot project. Crunching through the British armour at pace :-) BTW, I’m interested to know what FAC and FAOs typically used for transport in the mid 80’s? FV432 variant or something smaller like a Landy? #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

British AFV building & painting continues: Comparative sizes of the Scorpion, Warrior and iconic Chieftan (R-L) of the mid 80’s #ColdWarGoneHot era. All models are Battlefront / Team Yankee #15mm for use in #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

These are lovely and quick to paint: Base colours complete on Warrior No. 2 and Scorpions No. 1 & 2. Time to walk the dog before a black wash and building a couple of Chieftans for me to paint tomorrow #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

A bit of mud & dust to add (after decals) and the first #15mm Warrior is finished for my 2025 #ColdWarGoneHot project #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2 Once painted up these all plastic Battlefront starter sets are great value for a newbie to the theatre.

I ve made a start on the first of the British Armoured Company by getting the base colours down on this Warrior. A bit of trial and error: I’m starting with Army Painter “Army Green” rattle can, followed by Vallejo Dark Grey, working on the theory it will all darken down once a wash is applied #15mm

First to be built of the “British Starter Set” from Battlefront are the 2 x Warrior IFVs. Easy little builds, but may need some stowage to bring a little character to them. Next up, a pair of Scorpion recces #15mm #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

A useful weekends “work”: A company of British infantry, 2 sustained fire MGs, CO, HQ, a pair of 2” mortars, and 4 Milan ATGM. On to the more fun bit of making and painting BAOR vehicles this week #15mm #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR

#15mm BAOR Company painting update #CWC2 #7DttRR #NORTHAG #ColdWarGoneHot

submitted 41 days ago • 0 comments

BAOR #15mm Infantry paint refs: stage 1, base colours. For what it’s worth the base green looks a little cold, but after a wash a warmer green is added (part of stage 2) so fear not :-) #ColdWarGoneHot #NORTHAG #7DttRR

DPM is tricky at #15mm but I think I have my recipe:-) I may need to just add 1 or 2 more very faint black swirls, I’ll check when it’s all dry. Painting references over the weekend (as the company progresses) #NORTHAG #7DttRR

It’s started: A company of British infantry (plus some support) prepped, primed in Army Painter “Army Green” rattle can and ready for DPM #15mm #NORTHAG #7DttRR #CWC2

Todays little job: Finish up the repaint and basing of my #15mm 88’s #BKC #IABSM #FoW

submitted 43 days ago • 0 comments

I’ve been after a pair of ‘88s to join my German force for a little while, so was happy to pick these up on eBay for a good price. I will repaint & base them to match my more rural looking scheme, but a good find nonetheless #15mm #BKC #IABSM #FOW

I’ve been looking for good starting point for my 2025 #ColdWarGoneHot project. 19 #15mm British vehicles & helos for £67 (or £3.50 each) seems very reasonable, and with a box of infantry and some Milan & SAM support should cover most eventualities in #NORTHAG & #7DTTRR Still fancy a chinook though!
