Heavy Gear UMFA #4

Middlestone!

Just a small previous of the paint scheme I am working on for my GP Squad. I am trying out a new paint line that I have not used before. The paint used is Vallejo Model Air Middlestone. I plan on making a hard edge camo using German Green and Hull Red. I am a relative noob when it comes to the use of Humbrol masking fluid so it shall be a learning experience.

Fire Support!

Fire Support Squad is assembled and awaiting primer!

I choose to do the squad as follows:

Headhunter - LAC, LRP
Hunter - MBKZ, LRP 
Hunter - MBKZ, LRP 
Grizzly - HAC, MRP, MGM
Grizzly - HAC, MRP, MGM
Grizzly - HAC, ATM

This mix should give a really nice mid-range punch and decent long range standoff. Every thing is assembled and awaiting primer. Any other ideas?

Building of an Army

Here is the box sets I will be working with in the next few weeks. I will have some WIP posts of how the army is coming along. If anyone has list ideas, feel free to submit them!

Plastic Soldier M4A2

American Sherman M4A2

Here is my brother-in laws Sherman tanks we have been working are. They are made by Plastic Soldier Company, and are the M4A2 version with welded hull. We used Tamiya Fine Surface grey primer and Tamiya Olive Drag as the basecoat.
