Antenna were added using thin wire and painted black. Gilles said that he started with a basecoat of GW Codex Grey over a black undercoat. He then painted in the camouflage pattern in Graveyard Earth with an old brush using a stipple method to create soft edges.
This was gone over with a mix of Iyanden Darksun and Graveyard Earth. The tracks were painted with GW Dark Flesh. Missile warheads were picked out in Mechrite Red.
The whole vehicle was given a wash of GW Badab Black.
Gilles then applied some decals from a Flames of War "Afrika Korps" set - tactical numbers and the small round decals that I thought looked good as national symbols for my sci-fi troops. Gilles had to paint in small white circles on the vehicles first, to show up the negative space on the decal.
Last came some weathering - a drybrush of Scorched Earth around the tracks and lower hull, followed by a lighter drybrush of Bubonic Brown higher up, and some weathering to the decals. We think they look OK :-)

Nice looking treads, Dallas. The aerials and decals really put them up a notch. Kudos to Gilles - he's a keeper. :)
Great work Gilles - I will have to see if Spencer is up for painting my 15mm guys...
