Finished off the Israeli army today with two platoons of infantry. That rounds off the whole project bar the two T-62s and last Sh’ot that are still in the mail. Below is a picture of the first platoon.
And just to see how it would look when finished, here is the commander for my Soviet WW2 Tankovy battalion:
I used magic wash on these guys, mixing Klear floor polish with quite a bit of black and using that to shade the basic dark green colour scheme. It has worked quite well to shade the recesses. I still need to wash the HMG so that it isn’t quite so shiny.
My next project is my Soviet army so this is really just a taster for the next few months.

Hi Nate
Nice job on your IDF collection. What colours did you use on your infantry and armour?
Owen
Thanks Owen
The armour is sprayed with Tamiya TS46 Light Sand and then brushed with Strong-tone magic dip.
The infantry Dan base-coated with some GW colours – I can’t remember what, but I find that the Vallejo yellow-green gives a good effect – that is what I used on the tank commanders.

IDF Infantry were sprayed with Tamiya Olive Drab then dry brushed with a desert yellow, i think the GW or Vallejo.
