Someone just pointed out to me that the black backdrop I use is washing out the photos. So here is the #Sho'T on a white background.

I think they are right!

I wrote a thing! I take a look at the new Battlefront Centurion to work out how to build just about every variant in the current range of games.

A productive night on #ShoT troop.

Got some light chipping done, especially on the skirts, and blocked out the next areas of work.

Tomorrow (tonight?) I'll finish off the stowage, tracks, .50 and vision blocks.

Further #WiP on the #ShoT troop. Mostly detailing. Vision blocks, search light and .50 all done (though ammo boxes need a bit more work). Also cleaned up the (painted) canvas mantlet covers which were a little undefined.

Take 2 - the turret on the left is a darker recipe than last night's (right): VMA Forest Green (over a Green primer), VMC Green Grey then IDF Sand as highlight rather than mid tone.

More #WiP on the #ShoT troop.
Detail work all done on stowage, .50 and vision devices. "Brown for Dark Yellow" filter applied. I noticed that I hadn't drybrushed the tracks (only the stowed spare links) so that's next.

All done with the first Battlefront Centurion #Sho'T troop.

Overall I'm happy with how they came out. I think I can do a tidier green stuff job on the pintle mount so that's something to work on.

Recovering from a touch of flu and trying out a colour scheme for the Sho't. Grey green (model colour) base (over bronze green priner), then work up through IDF sand (model air) to Aged White (model air).

Nearly there with the #Sho'T troop. Gloss varnish provides a base to apply a Nuln Oil Gloss pin wash followed by Iraqi Sand dirt wash.

All that's left is a coat or two of Matt followed by a light Iraqi Sand "dust" drybrush.

After the two test pieces, it's time to paint the first #ShoT troop.

Got the airbrush work done over the course of the evening and also got the Chevrons on.

Tonight I'll get the chipping done and start on tracks and stowage.
