Hammer Time (part 3)

As previously detailed here and here, a project for me this month has been painting some Hammer's Slammers 28mm blowers from Old Crow. When last I left the project I was waiting for lion rampant decals to finish the Slammers livery... unfortunately when they arrived they were unsuitable, as the lion was stretched out horizontally rather than rearing up vertically... no, that would not do at all.

So I ended up doing what I should've done in the first place, which was paint the insignia on freehand!

 I think they turned out acceptably well. The yellow shield was painted on in GW Iyanden Darksun (a great golden yellow from the Foundation range) and the lion with Mechrite Red highlighted with Blood Red.



Paint chips were added in Boltgun Metal to match the turret. I think these tanks are done now - ready to face whoever their employers deem appropriate!

I like these, its like if bumper boats and tanks had babies and then those babies got a really good paint job.

Great job dude. I was sure you had the decals when I saw their turns. Nice work on the crests.
