Back to the 8th Arkab

So after a brief break for the Marik Militia lance, we're back to the 8th Arkab Legion backlog of Kickstarter vehicles and mechs. This go around are the 4 Bulldog medium tanks and 4 Hetzer wheeled assault guns. Step one was getting that base coat of Vallejo Dark Sand on them.
Second step was the Vallejo Bronze Green and Cavalry Brown camo strips on the vehicles.
After that it was picking out guns, missile launchers, drive wheel parts of the tracks, and wheel hubcaps in Vallejo Gunmetal Grey and the tracks and wheels in Vallejo Black. After that the needed layer of Nuln Oil shade over all of them.
Last step was the Vallejo Tan Earth on the bases. I could have probably done some sand on the base of the Hetzers but chose not to in order to keep all the vehicles uniform.
The only issue I have now is that I am out of the Gamers Grass Bracken for the mechs but those are on order and should be here in about a week and now I am also out of the Vallejo Tan Earth as I used the very last of the bottle to finish off today's batch of vehicles. I'll have to track down some more of this (hopefully without paying only crazy prices and all the shipping) or find a perfect match in another line. Anyone have any idea what the Army Painter or GW equivalent would be to color match as I do have a store locally that carries those lines. Anyway, hope you all are enjoying, glad I'm still making progress, and looking forward to any suggestions on the paint or anything else.
