Rob Villnave
This week I am happy to show you that platoons are being finished. In this weeks update I have two Sherman platoons finished. At this stage I am very happy with these two platoons. I am also very happy to now be working on the main body of the army….My infantry!
Below:
My first platoon of Sherman Vs and a Firefly.
The thing I was most excited about when finishing these two platoons came about when I sprayed them with my matte finish I did not get my typical result. What normally happens to me despite my best intentions and effort is the matte finish causes a crinkling effect on my models. I have come to learn to spray three to four very light layers on to my models. Perhaps now the patience is paying off.

Another shot of my first platoon of Sherman V’s and a Firefly.
My hope by the end of this project I will have the time to go back to these little beauties and add on some foliage. I have been inspired by some recent articles in Wargames Illustrated and on the Flames Of War website concerning camouflage. I just think that little extra effort not only makes models go up in WOW Factor but also helps cover up… er, um… errors shale I say.
Below:
My second platoon of Sherman Vs and a Firefly. Note the star on the front of the hull. I did this to distinguish one platoon from the other.
Thank you again for taking a few minutes from your day. I hope next week we will begin to see the army it self taking form.
