My take on this aspect of the table top gaming experience. Not an expert just one person trying to do what he can & trying to demonstrate that anyone can do it.

Some AQMF painting projects that I am working on

 

Originals on the far left

So, I have been playing a few games of All quiet on the Martian Front lately and, as a result, I have pulled out my collection of AQMF unpainted stuff. I have far more unpainted than painted American tanks and given the escalating engagements it was high time that I started to finish off my collection. 

The first challenge was how to replicate how I had painted the original tanks. Thankfully I had a vague idea of what I had done, so some quick testing of some old craft paints and the addition of a new highlight colour and I was on my way! 

A feat flat matt green paint as the primer

The selected craft paints, new addition on the end

With the green sorted out, I then decided look for a new colour for the other half of my unpainted American tanks. For these I went with Vallejo British Uniform. Thanks to a fellow gamer, John, I have an idea of what to do next. Thy will basically look like some of the WWI British tank paint schemes.

Trenches still in the WIP column

The other big thing for AQMF is a trench system. This one is from Ironclad miniatures. It is a 15mm system, I really should have gone with the 20mm system as the AQMF figures are 18mm. So I have been bulking up the various pieces with clay, bass & balsa wood and lots of glue. 

A while back I finished off the two flattened ruined buildings but never got around to posting an pics.
