Support the Empire!

 A bit of support ...

Managed to find a bit of time to mess around with "Caunter" early war camo. A lot of ink has been spilled on the subject and many paints are available to help get that right shade. True to form, I went my own way and decided on a stony undercoat, with a dark green and olive-grey combination. All vallejo and all mixed to what I liked! I tried a sepia wash but it didn't look quite right so it's back to the reddy-brown of Agrax Earthshade for now. I don't own an airbrush so I stayed sober and tried to paint straight!

One more section of Sikhs plus a range of supports have reached the undercoat and wash stage. Highlights in the weeks ahead. Looking forward to having a bash at the Eureka/Skytrex Italians and colonial troops in due course.

Technically this is a Skytrex Humber Light Recon but for now it's standing in as a Marmon-Herrington ... not sure any Humbers actually made it to East Africa?

Awesome Mark VI with MMG. Love these little chaps. By PP.

Another Skytrex Humber Light Recon - went for the plain desert camo for 1941 onwards. 

Hard to find the "right" shade. Plumped for GW Zandri Dust base; Sepia wash; thinned Vallejo Stone Grey and a final edge highlight of the same with a smidge of off-white
