Plastcraft Sainte Mere Eglise started.

I deciced to use the dupli-color grey sandable primer for the roof.. Its a very dark grey.
Then i gave the roof pieces a wash with SW Algae wash and drybrushed them with Reaper dusky skin.

The walls I sprayed all with army painters uniform grey and am trying a piece with SW stone wash and then I'm gonna drybrush reaper bathanlian Chitin for highlight and tone ad see how that works out.
I think i'm gonna skip painting the interior its a lot of surface to paint up for little gain..
wood floor I did in AP leather brown with SW sewer water wash.. will highlight with a light orange brown.

got the rest of the pieces washed..and tryed the drybrush color..i like it..maybe a second lighter coat with linen white to finish it off

good times!

PlastCraft EWAR03 building finished

used same basic tecniques as last few..color of room i primed grey then washed dark color of red or purple then drybrushed them with lighter color.

and heres a pic of the four buildings from the set all together. Next up the big church..but I do have 2 more sets of these buildings to do..should make an awesome city table.

and interiors

Battlegroup Overlord Bloody Omaha Dog Green

We got some more work done on some beach assault terrain and decided to take a two day crack at a 4 player Historical Scenerio beach assault and used the built in Dog Green D-1 setup.

Two players were fairly new to the game system only playing a couple games but they really got an opportunity to see the game shine in this since they didn't have to worry about builing a force and knew the primary historical objectives.

In the end on the end of turn of 10 the German Moral broke and they fled the beach allowing the Americans to capture the beach.. The game was won by the artillery always having at least 1 six in each barrage...by turn two the 88MM bunker and the 75mm Infantry gun bunker were both destroyed by Naval Bombardments. By turn 4(when they were hitting the beach basically) the 20mm Flak was destroyed and The 50mm Gun on the beach only hit one DD tank before it was out of ammo and then destroyed leaving the MG Pits and limited Artillery and defenses to hold back the hordes of infantry.


It was a very fun game..and we could see if they artillery hadn't been so good and the 2+ saves were actually successful it could have went the other way easily.

heres some pics from the game.

EWAR02 Europeon Building complete

so got everything done(ok i forgot to highlight the doors..tomorrow LOL)
heres pic  and then pic of 3 of the 4 from the set that are done..coming together nicely

EWAR02 almost done

got the main building assembled just gotta work on the detailing and touching up the exposed edges of the sheets on the chimney roof ect and

I really like the way the roof turned out on this one better..I'll try sticking with that technique.

Plast Craft EWAR02 European Building Started

using the same base coat colors I've got the pieces primed with colored primer
I'm trying to do the inside sides of the walls as well for this one.
For the roof I just used the dark grey automative primer and used algae wash. its dark but I'll drybrush up a mid tone thats more blushish grey.
for the floors i just used army painter leather brown and sewer water wash.

I think i'll use the same blend of washes for the walls as i used for the small shop..maybe with colored trim instead of creame bone color.

edit: later that day

so i went and mixed 1:1 reaper bright turquoise and rainey grey together for the roof drybrush color..i think it turned out good
I'm gonna try the same basic style for the next two roofs..grey base and wash and drybrush color up..
floors i just used golden brown to drybrush and the walls graveyard bone

Plast Craft EWAR04 Small shop finished

finished up the painting (cept maybe a logo on the sign not sure about that yet)
overall pretty happy with how it turned out.
Heres a pic beside the european house.

Plast Craft EWAR Small Shop

started working on building #2
I used the same primer for the walls ..Army painter Army green for the roof
Base coated the floors with 2:1 Reaper golden brown,Marigold Yellow.

For wash's I used a blend of armour wash and sewer water on the walls and didn't dilute this time.
the roof I used straight Algae wash
and the floors sewer water.

For the roof i dry brushed the mid town back using army green..then added a bit of linen white to it for last highlight .
the walls I just tried using Graveyard Bone..I'm trying for a different tone thats abit less custard and more creme.

Progress so far.
