The door hinges are simply rectangle strips of 0.25mm thick plasticard. From afar they look good enough, and with a cunning paintjob they could be made to look curved. The Lasgun ports are made of same 0.25mm thick plasticard, shaped with 2.75mm diameter hole punch. These were glued to place with super glue for faster drying time. Then I drilled a 3mm deep hole through them using 1mm diameter pin vice drill. Then I glued the welding wires so that they point few millimeters out of the hull. The upper section of the hull is made of a solid block of several 1mm thick plasticard layers, so I could drill deep holes to the solid material. This structure also helped shaping the hull.

Hello everyone. I need your advice once more. This time it is about paint scheme. I have decided to paint everything in winter camo. The infantry is easy, they will be just white. However, the vehicles trouble me. I have made these 5 examples, that I think will work effectively in snowy landscape. But I simply can't decide, so I ask for your opinion. Is any of these 5 good looking and realistic enough for my armoured might? Or should I do something totally different? If you have any ideas, please tell me. Pictures are appreciated.

Well based on my experience in the US Army, in Korea for 3 winters. We'd Whitewash our APC's and the Tanks in the Armor Bns. The base camo of all our vehicles was the standard US Green, Brown & Black. So IMO - All white or "C" unless you are going to be in mountainous terrain then "E" ... Hope that helps ...
