Here is a before and after picture of two Tiger I tanks. With the application of a little paint and a bit of patience you can transform a plain stock vehicle into a battle-scarred veteran. Dennis' veteran is on the left with Mako's "virgin" in on the right. Take a look and what else is possible at our website! (Don't worry we won't try to sell you anything!)
I really like your paint jobs and dioramas, they are quite excellent. Have any tips on building a Stalingrad type board? I want to make everything all gray and dreary, with (obviously) tons of structures. Got any idea what to use for bricks?
With the small scale of the Digi-Q tanks I would not try to replicate brick rubble. On our battlefiled there are several ruined brick buildings but I chose not to attempt creating brick rubble. Instead I simply made "generic" rubble out of wood glue and decomposed granite - sand and fine gravel would work just as well. After the rubble is painted it looks great and saves a lot of trouble that would result in trying to make all those tiny broken bricks.
