Now, though, I've become slightly better and I've improved on basic techniques (inkwashing, drybrushing, highlighting, blending) and I've also realized the importance of priming this stuff first....

So after taking a leap, I'm pretty happy with the results. I may be able to post pics in a little bit, I'll see if I can.
In any case, one thing that I ran up against was not quite knowing how to paint some of the equipment. Different pics/models seem to show different colors, and as most historical books have B&W pics, they don't help me. Does anyone know of a website that shows color pics of the uniforms and equipment of WWII troops, specifically German forces?
thanks in advance,
Law
