Tutorial abut paints which I used:

1. Luftwaffe Camo Green - VMC 823 - for base color
2. Chocolate Brown - VMC 872 - for brown splashes
3. Dead Flesh - VGC 72035 - for bright splashes
4. Black Wash quite diluted - for shadows

Right know you should have quite good looking figure, but I decided repaint/highlight some of the colors, so:

5. US Tank Brown - LifeColor UA 087 - on brown splashes
6. German Camo Beige - VMC 70821 - on bright splashes or leave them as they look.
7. French Green - LifeColor UA 146 - on rest green spaces.

After that Woodland should looks really nice, quite bright and sharp.

This is my small tutorial for Woodland Camo. Hope it helps

Cheers

Beautiful work.
The USMC guys in MOPP make me think of Generation Kill.

Great painjobs and the basing works are nice too.

Very inspirational. I just started painting my Republican Guard last night and have all my armor in a basic Krylon camo Sand so far. Hoping to make them look as good as these. Mine are much smaller, but this shows what can be done with the right shading and detailing.

Hello

Today some sneak peek of my 3rd USMC in MOPP's squad. As you can see on the picture I have to finish only the bases.



Next thing is sneak peek on my Iraqi vehicles. Two T-72 and two BM-21. Tanks are without external fuel tanks as I assembled them from few other diecast vehicles. Tanks need only layer of antishine, and BM-21s need wheels finish and varnish. BM's will be markers or I'll use them in 'patrol' kind scenarios./ Here they are:



The black undercoated T-72 is completely wreck and I want to make it as burnt/destroy marker.
Hope you like them. Comments are most welcome

Cheers
Thomas

Hi

Today few pictures what I've finished last days. Here they go:

BM-21 Grad - two of them, diecast vehicles repainted by me. Added some weathering - too much IMO, but it has to stay at it is now:





T-72 - two of them as before, and again repainted diecast vehicles. Similar weathering, painted as my previous armoured core. Unfortunately without mg's :




Some Iraqi Fedayeen AT team...:


... iraqi Fedayeen sniper...:


... IRG AA operators...:


... IRG DShK HMG's...:


... and last but not least smoke/flare markers:


C&C most welcome! All figures need some static grass/tufts, and vehicles need antishine coat as well.

Best regrds
Thomas
