Cool ! Literally :-)

Great figures and setup, Panther whitewash is superb. Very good work !

My only down are the trees, the final branches are not fine enough or they are inexistant. They are not bad, but still looks to much like roots. Hey, there is room for improvement :-)


Cheers and a Happy New Year

Claude

Great piece of work! So many different things to check out. Only input I could suggest is the map. It looks way too new. maybe crinkle or give it water stains. if it's winter & sitting out exposed to the elements it wouldn't look so fresh (plus it would be wrinkled & crinkled from whover was using it before the jeep was abandoned). Aside from that very minor observation that's one A+ piece of work!


Great suggestion. I would love to hear ideas about how to weather the [Verlinden] maps to simulate weather wear, particularly from anyone who's worked with this product before.
Anyone ?


IF you have a good scanner & high quality color printer you can scan it & print it out on lighter paper which can be crinkled, ripped, or cut & gives it a better scale appearance. Also, just a tiny dab of water to the back of the paper (rather than the side with the ink so it doesn't run or bleed on the rest of the map) will leave a small wet mark. takes a bit of playing with, but after a few applications leaves a convincing water stain. The trick is to keep it small enough so the whole thing doesn't look like one big water stain.
