Research

OK - so blue it is. Should be interesting... Apparently this is the "desert camouflage of the 1941 - 42 period, known as the ‘Caunter Scheme’"

Workbench

Making some progress...

Finished the base of the 25pdr and flocked another infantry base.














Drybrushing the Matilda II and almost ready to camo and detail, then base.

Apparently the camo was a shade of blue...
should be interesting...

On the workbench

Work in progress, ...

Finishing off another stand with a 25pdr Howitzer and team. The foreground stand is the one nearing completion. It just needs the base flocked and tidied up. The background stand was completed some time ago.
















Base coated a Matilda II infantry tank. I've based it in a medium brown and then worked a dark brown into all the grooves and corners with a half-wet brush. I'm hoping when I drybrush the main colour on it will help with the contrast.
