    Hi all,

    Sturmtiger asked me to post these pics. ST, would you fit them with comment?
    thanks for sharing these, they are lovely!

    I believe I had tanks like those too when I was a kid. Never got the idea to paint them though...

    That is my neice.I found her eye-balling a sub I'm doing.She had a few paints opened.Amazingly,they were at least the correct colors.No damage done.I figured I'd see if she'd like painting something.I had a few plastic tanks lying around so I let her have a go.She seemed to enjoy it.Obviously this makes me very happy.Thanks for posting these Panzer.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not an old style (Must be about 7 or 8 years old now?) pot of Citadelle Tentacle Pink?

    And I though I was the only one who bought it... :D

    Cool pictures Sturmtiger. I have many models that are in need of painting, would you mind if I sent a few and she painted them?

    Hey PanzerProfile, it's nice of you to come visit us. :D

    That little pot of pink paint. It's from Games Workshop's Citadel line from years ago. That particular color is called tintacle pink.

    I also have the colors;
    rotting flesh
    bubonic brown
    snot green
    regal blue
    ultramarines blue
    vermin fur
    snakebite leather
    tin bitz (my favorite)
    bolt gun silver
    liche purple
    dwarf flesh

    You are indeed correct.I have dozens of old Citadel Colours.They last forever.Unlike the current line,it dries up so fast after you open the bottle it's ridiculous.

    Sure,why not?I was gonna say she'd have to fight me for them,but the shelves in the background contain just a small percentage of the models in my stash.I have almost a hundred.

    That's an excellent idea!! Why spend $30 for an experiment, when you can go to a toy store and spend $5!! That ought to be on a modelling forum!
