Get Protected on Patrol
When the Taliban realised it wasn’t going to be able to defeat a professional standing army in a stand up fight it reverted to a guerrilla tactics and employed IEDs. After a number of tragedies involving Snatch Land Rovers on patrols the MOD purchased a new bread of Protected Patrol Vehicles.
The smallest of this new family was the Ocelot that the MOD renamed ‘Foxhound‘.
White Dragon Miniatures have a cracking model for the foxhound which can be modelled with the top buttoned up or with up to two soldiers manning GPMGs.
Coming in 2 parts and each wheel it was easy to build. Primed White and based in Zandri Dust
Base colour with successive dry brushesStarting from Zandri Dust I washed the whole thing in agrax and then drybrushed the vehicle in sections.
The camo net area I drybrushed karak and then screaming skull. The metal/composite parts of the vehicle also got given a minor dry brush of cadian flesh tone to ‘British pinky up’ a little bit. A throwback to the old SAS pinky WMIKs
my check list of shades. I used Agrax but I think I should have used Sepia 
base colours done and windows all painted in
final step of weathering with flayed one flesh and lahmian medium wash - Really worthwhile stepAs you can see I’ve not painted the top cover yet. They will be done when I next paint the remaining infantrymen.
