Crafting Soft-Edge Camo on a German Sd Kfz 251 Part II by Rubén Torregrosa
In the previous article, we covered how to paint the basic color of the German half-track and apply a soft-edge camouflage using the airbrush. Now, we will bring the vehicle to life by applying a dark wash to all the recesses, adding chipping effects, and using pigments to simulate dust. Additionally, we will create a simple yet effective foliage camouflage. The techniques covered in this article can be applied regardless of the painting technique used until now. They are completely compatible with simpler approaches for the base color and camouflage, including the drybrush technique or just a plain color.

Card Reprints and New Website Unit and Command Card packs have provided players will a simple and easy reference when building and playing with their armies since the launch of WWIII: Team Yankee and the current edition of Flames Of War. Some years later we found ourselves with over 60 different packs of Unit and Command Cards and the challenge of trying to keep them all in stock whilst balancing print runs with our suppliers...

D-Day: Forces in Normandy, 1944 With Wayne Turner
It started with an Airborne assault, hitting vital defences behind the enemy lines. It was followed by a full-scale amphibious invasion on the beaches of Normandy. Operation Overlord was in full swing, with about 160,000 men crossing the English Channel to land on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day alone.

Crafting Soft-Edge Camo on a German Sd Kfz 251 Part I by Rubén Torregrosa
In this new article, we will explore how to create a soft-edge camouflage using an airbrush. Previously, we discussed how to paint hard-edge camouflage using masking putty (Unlocking the Enchantment of Highlights: Creating Contrast in 15mm Vehicles). Here, we will apply the camouflage spots directly with an airbrush to achieve a soft or blurry edge. This technique means we won't be able to add highlights or shadows to the camouflage spots, which will partially reduce the high-contrast effect we aim for when painting 15mm vehicles. However, this is precisely the purpose of camouflage: to blend the vehicle with its surroundings! For this purpose, we will paint a platoon of 6 drilling Sd.Kfz.

2024 Asia Pacific GT Report By Chris Townley
Over the past weekend a group of Flames Of War players from Australia, New Zealand and even Japan gathered together at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns, Australia.
The museum is without doubt one of the greatest collections of, you guessed it, armour and artillery in the world, all beautifully restored and sitting safe and sound in a purpose-built facility.
