SOLDPart of the reason I like the Flames of War range in particular are the objective markers. A series of small vignettes that add a great deal of atmosphere to the game and look excellent on the table or in the display cabinet.
The German objective marker consisting of a Kubelwagen crashed at the side of the rood is typical. The dead driver, the broken telephone pole and fencing create a scene of roadside devastation that will look superb on the gaming table.
One of the bonuses of painting pieces for the blog is that I get to paint exactly what I want and this is no exception.
Once prepped and cleaned I under coated the whole model with Games work shop skull white undercoat and the airbrushed the Kubelwagen in German yellow and various sand and earth shades.
This was then left to dry before the real painting and detailing. The first thing to do was block in the road and scenery. After applying various shades of highlights I picked out the detail of the demolished telephone pole, fencing, helmet and sculpted shrubbery.
This was then set aside to dry after which I applied various filters before detailing the car itself. The dead driver is nicely sculpted and I saved him to last painting him in German field grey using the three-tone highlight technique. Followed by a little more shading to the vehicle to accentuate the detail and three coats of matt varnish to protect the finish.
A little Games Workshop flock and some Woodland Scenic’s shrubbery were then added just to improve the overall appearance of the vignette and there we have it.
