Put your favorite OGRE/GEV miniatures photos here...
Don't go all hog wild and post a dozen or something - just maybe your top 5 favorites.
Here are mine: Boardgamegeeks best OGRE/GEV map with miniatures (IMO). Dang nice paint jobs on these OGREs! This is not a map or anything but - dang - I WANT! You have to check out his blog as well! This guy almost has as many OGRES as I do. I will probably lay out all my miniatures on a piece of metal as they all have a neodymium magnet under each one so I can do this. Lastly this spread of miniatures is just delicious to any collector! Check out his blog here. He has some really cool stuff! Have a memorable memorial day. My father is a veteran of the Vietnam way (helicopter pilot off the Kitty Hawk). I used to wear his flight suit AND helmet on Halloween when I was a teenager. Coolest Halloween costume ever - I felt like a GEV pilot (yes I did think that as I played OGRE as a kid) - hah!

Do you use any masking techniques or stenciling? Do you use any decals? What do you use for the undercoat? What brand of paints do you use? I know so many questions. I do like the main battery barrel accents on your OGRES. What color paint is that?

Re: Put your favorite OGRE/GEV miniatures photos here...
So many questions, lol.
No masking used on mine, I'm a pretty basic painter. I always use Krylon flat black for primer, I prefer ultra flat back, but of course it's impossible to find now. If the mini is going to be light colored I usually give it a shot of Krylon grey over the black. No decals, although I have thought about it. Maybe someday. I'm not sure I want to put decals on a few thousand vehicles. My Paneuropean forces are base coated in Krylon Banner Red, the Combine are True Blue. I wanted a Basic paint scheme that ties each force together. I use basic craft paints for detailing, Apple Barrel, Anita's, that sort of thing. I pick them up at Hobby Lobby when they are on sale for less than a buck. I do have to thin them usually, they are pretty thick out of the bottle. I use washes sometimes, and dry brush a lot to bring out the details. My Ogre main batteries are painted metallic copper, craft paint again. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Soon I will be done putting small neodymium magnets on my OGRES barrel roots and at the beginning of each secondary and main cannon barrel so I can remove them during battle as well as that in moving them no barrel accidentally gets snapped off.

Re: Put your favorite OGRE/GEV miniatures photos here...
I just finished up the first batch of Ogre Minis that I've painted in almost 20 years. Definitely a nice trip down memory lane while painting!
