When I was originally looking at Flames of War I was reading Antony Beevor's 'Stalingrad' and I was sorely tempted to start a Russian Armored Company 'ex-factory'. Ie. Paint them like they'd just rolled out the doors of the STZ and try and make all the crew and tank riders look like overalled factory workers fighting in The Great Patriotic War. But then I realised sculpting overalls and modelling lots of tank tools in their hands might be a bit much work! Not to mention I was unsure of the STZ T-34 undercoat colour :) Whitewashed tanks would be cool, any probably not too tricky to paint once you’ve figured out the technique.

But Im trying not to get distracted till after the tournament. I've already come up with a Soviet Tank Battalion but the soviet vehicles whilst cool dont have particularly inspiring paint schemes, which leads me to doing a winter force with white-washed vehicles.

Where's all that tournament info again? Thanks guys, but these have all been 'speed painted' to get my NZers finished :). I'm looking forward to starting in on the Germans and spending weeks painting a single Panzer IIIj. I really want to try some new techniques on the Germans, particularly with weathering the tanks. Anybody else up for a second FOW Army? Aaron you seemed to be hinting at it last night :) Jeez there’s a painting competition?! Where’s all that tournament info again?
