That's what I figured, probably assembled from scraps in a corner of the tank factory and sprayed whatever colour was going on the tanks. I think once they spent a few days on the beach, the main colours would be rust red and seagull shit white.Hello Colin, Thats a great question. From what I was able research, the predominant color was dark grey, or panzer grey. Most, but not all, were given a base coat of primer red, a rust prohibiting kind, like they used on their panzers. I would imagine they were in other colors as well, like a dark green perhaps. You would think, some would be painted in a sand color, to match the beach, but I have never seen a photo of them. Whatever color they started out as, they probably turned out looking like this photoView attachment 138793Of course, that would depend how long they were in the area. Hope this helps a little. Regards, SG
Really? That might be cool. Hornet is just 10 minutes down the road from me. I may just have to drop in tomorrow.
Hate it! They're so frigging tiny
. Of course, she doesn't find that in the least humourous...
. The barbed wire guides aresteel wire bent into loops. The barbed wire is very thin copper wire, twisted together with drops of superglue spaced out as the barbs. The steel girder tank trap is from a Tamiya kit painted German Camo Green. The ground itself is painted various shades of brown... darker at the lower level (closer to the water) and lighter higher up. The whole shebang is covered in coarse model railroad ballast, then washed with various brown inks with splashes of green where the tide would raise the water line. All the "steel" items had a liberal application of rust colour and all the "props" received multiple dirty washes and like every beach in the world... the leavings of the ever present Shit-hawks (Seagulls).
It'll be nice to go to a show behind a full night's sleep
