More than five years after starting them, I finally painted up and finished my British Chieftain tanks from Battlefront Miniatures. These guys have seen the battlefield a few times in an unfinished state, but it is nice to have them finally done.
I primed the tanks black for a solid base, then used silly-putty as a masking agent to create a camo pattern. After that, I sprayed a light green base coat over the masked areas. Five years later, I dry-brushed them with khaki paint to add texture and reduce the sheen of the light green. Finally, I applied a dark tone for depth and weathering in some places.
With these bad boys painted up, I'm ready for some more battles in Team Yankee; these Chieftain tanks are sure to make an impact on the tabletop. I finished the FV432s at the same time as my Chieftains, and plan on finishing up my British Infantry next, which will complete the army.
