For those of you that have been following this blog, you know that I finished updating my British Paras for V4 last year. However, I somehow misplaced the artillery the guns for my artillery, so could not finish the army. So, I went searching for the guns and initially came up with bubcus. I had thought I had assembled them, but I had not. So I was looking for the wrong thing in the wrong places! While doing a deeper dive into my bigs and parts boxes, I found the guns in the bottom of one of the trays.
With my guns found, I panted them up and touched up a couple of the crew that got chipped up while sitting in a box waiting for the guns. I sprayed the guns Testors medium green and hit it with a thick dip black wash from Vallejo. I then wet brushed the guns Vallejo Reflective Green (trying to simulate late war British Bronze Green) painted the wheels black and then dry brushed everything with some Iraqi Sand. A little dull coat and they were done.
I had to touch up some helmets with green and uniforms with earth tan to cover up some chips. Then some brown wash to blend that in. I then glued the guns to the bases and now have my artillery support for my airborne!
