Any Candian troop figgies out there? I just ordered mine, and would like to have a couple of Canadian troops included...

Alex,

Good to see your RG-31 and C2 coming to completion. The builds and initial painting are very nice but the weathering you are applying seems to mute out the details. To me, the weathering looks caked on rather than blended in and enhancing the look of the model in a realistic manner.

Are you using any type of fine/pin wash before and/or after? I can't tell if you are or not. If you are not you should consider using dark brown or black oil paints washes to pop out details and add a variation over the paint and all the pigments you are applying.

A few details I see missing from your Canadian RG-31 are the side view mirrors, the lifting eyes along the roof line above the windshield, and on later version RG-31s a driver's thermal viewer was mounted at the top of the centre windshield frame.

Did you find pics of the RWS painted in green and tan or is that just artistic licence?

Keep up the Canadian content!

Agreed on the weathering, just need to tone it down and pick out the details.

Here's a pic of a green RWS from the 'stan


cheers

That's the one I used, I think it's in the EROC book.

Hi all, sorry, newbie question - may I know how the glass was tinted green? Thanks!

Just a thought on the little information plates, I am under the impression that the real article is an aluminum plate with the information etched into it.
Perhaps someone who has first hand experience can correct me but I've seen plenty of similar info plates on various military vehicles as they are much more durable than some painted on letters.
