Foam arrived!

Well the foam from Mike over at Terranscapes have just arrived... They are absolutely perfect and will save me buckets of time. You can see most of the set in picture below. After i saw the youtube video i posted a couple of weeks ago i realised that Mike had cut some parts wrong. I emailed Mike and he recut the parts, and then included the mis-cuts with the shipment - This is awsome, i now have many ideas for the miscuts alone!
More detail on this project will follow...

Imperial Guard Font...

Ive been playing around with airbrushing Logos and vehicle identifiers on to tanks recently. I find that transfers never set properly and never look exactly right. Ill do a full post on the technique i use in a later post, but for the moment, i wanted to discuss fonts. Originally i was just using Arial in my tests and it never looked quite right. When i started to google it occured to me (duh!) that military vehicles use a military font. So after a bit of googling i found Da Font which has an excellent collection of military fonts. I went for Gunplay which nicely matches the style i am going for...
