Having taken into account some modern concepts of camouflage, shape, shine, shadow, straight lines etc…which were already being used in this period I came up with an idea of camouflage for my armour and vehicles. I should have done another test piece but eager to try it out and to really get a feel of how it will look across the various angles of vehicles I risked a StuG. In the end, I think it has turned out well and will be carrying out the same colour scheme across all my units. This has the same four simple stages used on the skirts.

I am pleased with these flat colours and will now apply an edge highlight to make the tank’s lines stand out a little more before going back in and doing some detail work on the small items, equipment and stowage.

Good to see someone painting tanks, that is what I need to do next week, and I’ve no idea what camo to do yet. You’ve done such a good job, they might be hard to find on the table!

Great job – these look fantastic. The problem with good cammo patterns is that you sometimes forget that they’re on the table. I painted up some Semoventes using the Italian pattern and there were at least a couple of turns in a game where they missed their shooting as I had parked them in cover and they just blended in. Fortunately my opponent missed them as well!
