Sussex is in a drought right now. Ardingly reservoir at its lowest ever.

People think this is going to get better but shit like this will only get worse

Rancid company. Not while there is a hole in my arse will I use them.

Things i now regret.

Right, Berlin Brigade camo actually compresses on smaller vehicles. Which makes it way more complex.

And jesus wept. This sucked ass to paint. I've got three more to do, and i'm looking forward to it the same amount as getting a lobotomy. Ugh.

More Berlin Brigade nonsense (apologies for spam but whatever)
Without a proper reference photo I took the lead 432 Rarden camo pattern and overlayed it on the Abbot and it’s come out well. 3 more to go!

Berlin Brigade armoured company ready to rock! These were actually no where near as fiddly as I thought it was going to be. Took its time, but they have come out pretty well I reckon!

Ah we reach the Phillip K Dick dystopia bit.

But rather than the Total Recall we think will be cool with arnie, we will get shit Johnny Cabs and the endless dirge of slop as the fucking planet sets on fire.

Jess Gill outlaying her plans for Takeaway Pottage stalls and Eels. The classic Native British dish. The absolute potato. But even then potato’s aren’t even British. Ffs

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

Nothing beats a culmination to a long campaign of a TTRPG. In this case Pathfinder 1st edition. For some of the players round the table this was the conclusion to their first proper campaign in a game so it had to stick the landing!

First full troop complete!

Command tanks next, then I’ve got the next three chieftains to do and that will be all the heavy armour in the force complete. Then on to fiddly bits! This is accurately replicated Camo, but it might get busy for smaller vehicles.

I went straight from woodland green to ‘AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH WHY’

I think so long as you have a long brush tip and a steady hand it shouldn’t be super hard :)

Mike Everest @britishbersagliere.bsky.social · 11d

Yeah so basically I took the original design from here and just pencilled it exactly on BF's model which fits perfectly. Sharpish HB pencil onto the undercoated model and it was enough for me to keep in the lines flush. Using mask on it would absolutely shatter me.

Mike Everest @britishbersagliere.bsky.social · 11d

Thanks Tom! I think the careful pencilling to start really helped!

Mike Everest @britishbersagliere.bsky.social · 11d

Thank you so much! Actually I thought I’d be like Edvard Munches scream but once I got in the groove it took me about 90mins. Took 25 mins to pencil up from the original template, but the painting wasn’t bad!

Mike Everest @britishbersagliere.bsky.social · 11d

Got my sheet printed out to make it absolutely exact. Makes it easier actually as you can get into a groove with it!

Mike Everest @britishbersagliere.bsky.social · 11d

Okay in the grand scheme of things, that didnt take a million years and has come out pretty well for this scale.

Just 8 more to go now...

And the Fox's

And the FV432...

Oh god.

In my defence, this is a completely stupid idea and I was a mong. But I’m committed now.

Berlin Brigade Camo chieftain force for Team Yankee. This is going to take AGES.

Plastic battlefront chieftain tank model. I’ve used a pencil to start marking the squares on it for the notorious weird looking Berlin brigade. Wish me luck .
