On with the camouflage. On the H39 I used the same Khaki Green No. 3 as I used on much of the B1, but now hand-painted with a fairly small brush:
The contrast between the two is so low that I think I did something wrong, though. It's hard to see in the photo, but it's even worse in the flesh.
It's a little better on the B1:
Here, I painted the horizontal surfaces (again with a brush) using an old bottle of Games Workshop Charadon Granite. That colour was especially odd: when I applied it, it was only barely darker than the brown already on the tank, but it got noticeably darker when it dried, ending up pretty close to the SCC 1A sample in Mike Starmer's book. This one definitely isn't done, though, as it still needs the splotches etc. around the edges of the vertical and sloping plates.
