Tony, Sounds like a microscale version of the 'stipple' camo painting method. I'll have to give it a try. Well, not on my ESU troops of course. Camo would only encourage them to hide, and those fancy fabrics cost money. As far as the barrels are concerned, I've had pretty good luck with them so far - no barrels lost due to my fingers. GHQs pewter alloy is far more malleable than a lot of others I've seen. I've got a company of T-80(R)s and BMP-2s - I want to paint 'em up for generic use, modern and DS2. Probably go with a good old Soviet Green and gray stripes. Sort of the hand painted camo job. It's real tempting to do them in the WW2 whitewash-snow scheme, but I don't have any appropriate terrain. Sudden Brainstorm: KR, how about offering Gamescape Mats in harvest brown/green and winter white/green/brown to supplement the green & desert already available? Or an easily removeable brown &/or white flock powder? Noah [quoted original message omitted]
