I ended up tweaking my Rural Ops guys I had finished the previous week in order to make it looked a little more brown rather than green. With the Assault I had decided to opt for the Multicam look for theming purposes. However, I tried adding the under layer colour you see on body armour shirt by adding a small amount of Deck tan around the carrier. I think it look pretty good and will be using it on my other models.<\/p>\n<p>I also did some work on the SAS Response team but you&#8217;ll see them in Wednesday&#8217;s post.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-8121 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171214_192751-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also received my Spectre order and the ebay&#8217;d figures. The Spectre guys are in the queue to be based and undercoated (planning to work on them over the Christmas break). I&#8217;ll be assembling the weapons systems around the same time as I need to cut some more plasticard bases for them, but I&#8217;ll be covering that in an upcoming part of the Technicals project.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see above, the ebay&#8217;d figures are lovely. Great models (as always from Empress) and a great paint job. However, after some thought, I decided to strip and repaint them. I like my force to look consistent and I have a bit of pride in being able to say I painted every figure. This is also a chance to repaint the rest of the dive team &#8211; they were some of the first I painted and although I was happy with it at the time, it&#8217;s not as neat as it could be.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That\u2019s it for this update, expect more updates next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s start, covering the 11th through to the 17th of December.
