I should note that I expressly said that I wanted not to have the tanks (in particular the tracks) look too new, but not too muddy either. I did not want a "show room perfect" look, but to look like they have just been driven a bit. This is a personal choice as the "muddy" or "weathered" look just is not for me.
I did pay for the top of line paint job on these vehicles and (spoiler alert) it was worth it.
I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but would like to point out a couple of things that these guys do that make it all worth it to me. DETAIL DETAIL DETAIL. All the little things on the tanks are addressed from a little wear on the barrel from firing to antennas as well as decals. It goes without saying that all of the tanks are magnetized, which I have found to be a non-negotiable item with me now after a long history of tank turrents falling everywhere. The M-10s especially look really good from three feet away, but are jaw dropping up close.
The security sections turned out extremely well. I did add the flocking and tuftfs to the jeeps. The details with serial numbers and again, antennas, show great detail which makes these models stand out.
The OddBall objective is a one of a kind type of piece you will have in your army. I wanted this one especially to look great and they did not dissapoint. The detail on the base is especially good and it has been suggested that I can take OddBall off the base and use him as a unit commander for Shermans, which I plan on doing in the near future.
Again, I will give CGR 5 out of 5 positive waves, man. The pictures don't lie. These guys do great work!
