Last year I decided to build the German Forces for Operation Battleaxe, from the Rapid Fire Desert book. I had all the Italian's required, and I had given myself two months to build it from this:
to this
Vehicles first
A collection of Britannia, Armourfast and Frontline with a couple of Lledo diecast
Primed white, then applied a coat of Tamiya Dark yellow XF59
various stages of the painting process
Lledo with stowage
at about the half way stage
Some extra vehicles came in and I had to play catch-up (on the right)
I try and finish all the vehicles to same stage before moving to the next paint stage
1st Tank unit
A few conversions, HQ tank
Divisional Radio vehicle
Divisional HQ truck
When all the stowage, etc painted, I then applied Decals and gave the vehicles a wash of Humbrol 86 brown.
The finished units
The 1st Division
Divisional HQ
Recon Unit
Armoured HQ
Famo Recovery Half Track
Tank Regiment
Supply vehicles
