I've had a few requests for a DPM tutorial so here it is. As normal with my camo painting I think its best to get the "look" of the camo rather than trying to accurately copy shades and patterns. The figure is a Liberation Falklands British Special Forces guy. At each stage I'll show a front and back view. I have a set system for painting figures, basically the castings cleaned up, based then painted.
All colours are Vallejo unless otherwise stated. Dougie
