What specific paint colors are people using to paint USMC? Is there a painting guide somewhere to the modren uniforms? I do a lot of WWII and use the model color seris from Vallejo.

Thanks for your time and advice!
Bryan

I have to admit that I painted mine with some cheap craft paint! Anyone else have some input for Bryan?

I have been thinking through how I will paint my 15mm's that are inbound. I hesitate because I only have experience with 6mm. I have read through these guy's opinions http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=83279 and will most likely come up with my own color combinations. I've never been overly retentive on my mini painting, but we'll see how that changes as the scale over doubles. I'll be sure to post what I come up with.

HI Bryan,

What scale are you using?

For 15mm any tan color will work, especially on the lighter side....

I wouldn't worry about a camo pattern at that scale.

Once you start to get to 20mm or 28mm I would start to put on camo patterns and such....
