The idea behind these models was from a Games Workshop article I read on this type of conversion, and they got thier idea from modern military Ghillie Suits.

Well, it's been a long time since I last posted anything on here, so here is the next instalment... I have recently purchased some Valiant Miniature figures ( link ). I got the American GIs and the Germans in Normandy, some very nice figures. Once I've got enough painted up will try them out with a set of rules that my dad put together a little while ago.

Below are pictures of my construction of the Sherman ARV and painted Sherman and Valiant models:
