Chemnitz's Legion Log

By chemnitz, in Painting

For the T-47, I wanted to give it a WWII vibe. After much thought (and consulting my kids), I settled on a color scheme inspired by the Spitfire in desert camo:

Here is what we came up with. The camo pattern consists of German Beige Camo and a 3:1 mix of Flat Earth and Uniform Green. The under-side is Blue Grey and Deck Tan. My older daughter painted much of the top-side, and my younger daughter painted much of the under-side. I did lots of touch-ups, and then I shaded, highlighted, and weathered the snot out of it.

I am very happy with how it came out. There is some room for improvement (for example, my windows are nothing special, and the stripe in front is crooked), but it should be a nice centerpiece of an army.

I knew the USAAF had Mosquitos but didn't know they had Spitfires. Good paint job.

My Pathfinders are ready to go. I went with a mostly-canonical paint scheme with a few small variations to taste.

I had to mix lots of colors to get decent matches. Here is what I used (all paints Vallejo):

3:1 mix of Iraqi Sand and German Medium Camo Brown (mostly undershirts, gloves, top of helmets)

3:1 mix of German Medium Camo Brown and Iraqi Sand (mostly pants, coat of bearded guy)

German Medium Camo Brown (brown on Bistan, beards)

1:1 mix of German Medium Camo Brown and Black (boots, sergeant's jacket)

1:1:1 mix of Andrea Blue, Blue Gray, and Dark Gray (jackets, rims on helmets, blue on Bistan, various details)

Various mixes of Gunmetal Gray and Silver (weapons)

Everything was washed in Agrax Earthshade, except for the weapons, which were washed in Nuln Oil.

It looks great! The detail is incredible.
