I think there was an art supply store out of... Ottawa? or Montreal...? that had them too...<br /><br />That's not what I use though. I just underpaint everything black and paint colour on in flat blocks upto the border of where the colour would end but leave a fine black line around everything... it that makes any sense. It's not as tricky as it sounds... quicker than washes and, I think, more effective for bringing out detail...<br /><br />Video of the dogs? like, in training? or actually blowing stuff up?!

Germans engineer remote control tanks, and the Soviets use dogs!<br /><br />I've seen video of these dogs...crazy. <br /><br />what do you use for lining? I've just started using a wash, but its still not really want I want. I've read about technical pens, but no one in Canada seems to know what they are.Renbukaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427889255407352946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-51118204269515436752010-09-07T13:41:39.179-07:002010-09-07T13:41:39.179-07:00Oh no!

...Oh no! No, nothing quite so humane or sensible...<br /><br />See that thing strapped to it's back? It's a bomb.<br /><br />They apparently trained dogs to run towards tanks and try to crawl under them. That stick protruding from the top - that's the detonator - when they tried to crawl under something - BOOM went the dog and whatever it crawled under...<br /><br />Unfortunately sometimes the dogs got freaked out in gen-u-ine combat and ran back towards the people it was familiar with and tried to hide under them... or their jeeps.. or trucks... or wagons.. or whatever...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-24055568300909528332010-09-07T13:00:42.389-07:002010-09-07T13:00:42.389-07:00Antitank bomb dog?
