Hi there

I was wondering if anyone had seen any genuinely used weird colour schemes from the war? (Faction dont matter, I collect all nations).

I feel like doing something different, but still want it to be believable and not just pure indulgence as my collection is very "accurate" focused.

Any info would be great.

Thanks mate.

That's an awesome camo scheme!

I may have to take that basic theme and do my own thing. Don't want to just shamelessly copy something so cool. It definitely works on a visually confusing level too, took me a second to realise it was a Panther.

That's more along the colours I was thinking. I may put small dots around the makings and possibly get round to using the camo nets I got a while back.

I will certainly post pics when I do them, I'm currently finishing off the rest of my shermans for my fury platoon (pics of fury itself are up on the painting and modelling section).

Just of interest, do you have two separate German armies given the two panthers that are different schemes, or do you just paint each tank as you feel at the time? At present I have minis for an africa (or early war) and a later war army. I haven't painted them yet, as I'm unsure if to paint the early stuff as desert, or go for a scheme that would allow me to freely mix and match without it looking odd. My US is all based on the classic olive drab colour, so they are OK in that department. I've also got similar issue with my brittish.
