A bit of a change in direction for this post. I find one of the things that stops me burning out when painting is to switch to something completely different for a bit of a rest. I guess it helps that I'm a bit of a gaming butterfly. In my mind at least I'm being productive and not just staring out the window.
A while ago my brother and I produced a pair of biblical armies for Impetus. At the time i produced some pretty smart desert terrain. Unfortunately it doesn't see much table time. So to rectify the situation we have decided the only sensible thing to do is extend our VBCW setting out to the desert, Raiders of the Lost Ark style.
My first submission is the big cheese himself riding round in a rather smart automobile.
Next up with have a kubelwagen acting as escort.
Thats 2 x 28mm vehicles = 40 points total

Hi Matt - I think you are in the right place when it comes to sharing about the "butterfly" feeling. Our passions can flitter around, and it can be hard at times to keep grinding away on a particular project. Witness the glory of the Squirrel side duel! Good on you for finding another project, and diving in to keep the brushes going. That is a great way to prepare for the final month of the Painting Challenge.
You get 40 points for the vehicles, but you have some painted crew/passengers as well, so I'll give you some points for those fellows too. So that is 50 points to you - well done, and keep pressing ahead!

Great pair of vehicles, Matt! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cars look excellent but there’s always something special about a Kübelwagen. Very nice
ReplyDeleteNice work on both vehicles. I like the civilian car with big cheese.
ReplyDeleteMatt, very nice cars! I like your reasoning to do these. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! 2 fab looking vehicles!
ReplyDeleteAs self appointed chief butterfly (just wave an Osprey blue book in my direction and I will change projects) I Salute you sir on these excellent paint jobs.
ReplyDeleteWonderful vehicles! The big cheese is riding in style!
ReplyDeleteFantastic work on these two automobiles. The glossy black finish on the staff car is great.
ReplyDeleteNice brushwork, Matt! I like the pristine command car vs the dusty overloaded escort Vick. Seems very accurate! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are some great vehicles and crew!
ReplyDeleteMatt - love the vehicles! Especially like the monocle on the main General.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez
Splendid looking pair of vehicles!

Hi Matt:
ReplyDeleteVery fine vehicles and crew, I especially like the gear piled in the back of the Kwagen, very realistic.
Cheers, MikeP
