All blended very good to the background and more often than not miniatures were huggning cover so the mini had its face against a wall or in some hedgerows. Abit frustrating really as the visuall impact is really important to me - and 20th c and modern warfare is all about not making a visual impact. At all. :-) I must confess I didn't forsee that aspect of modern wargaming. It Will be interesting to see how you handle this. Awesome so far thats for sure. And with your beautiful terrain you really don't have to see any miniatures to enjoy the pictures! :-)<br />/MattiasNW Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515691990727716838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964443017682068752.post-74240456444937994542015-01-18T11:24:49.324-08:002015-01-18T11:24:49.324-08:00They are terrific.

Painting the 1/72 diecast is low priority at the moment, though they will add another feature to the game board, having 'shiny' toy cars may look out of place. I'm tempted go with weathering them up rather than I complete re-paint.

With any future diecast 's I will just go along the lines of weathering and matt varnish unless I want to change the actual colour of the vehicle. The matt varnish has an unusual effect on the plastic windscreen but I quite like how it turns out.
