Here is some of my gaming stuff I've painted for playing Force on Force. Figures are from a well-known ESCI kit in 1/72 scale. I've painted them just to have something to start playing with.  BTR-152 is model made by ICM, also in 1/72 scale. I've painted it by Vallejo acrylics and used 502 Abteilung oils and AK Interactive products for weathering. I've painted the model as a generic third-world vehicle, that's why it is a little worn off and dirty.

Very well done! Is that the Flora pattern with the infantry? Either way, what colors did you use? I am working on some 15mm Russians and would like to get the colors pretty much like that, but all I had to go on was my worn out set of Flora camo.

Honestly speaking, the pattern is purely imaginative, I used these old figures as a training ground for practicing camo painting. Omar wrote: Either way, what colors did you use?

I used Vallejo colors mixing them with Folk Art acrylics, I'll tell the numbers after coming home. If you are interested in Russian theme, have a look at one of my recent figures (Under Fire Miniatures, 20 mm) - I tried to imitate a common camo pattern of Russian infantry.

Very nice! I would be interested in more details on that as well. Do you have a link to any pictures of it in use, or the actual pattern?

Wow, your painting is superb and the vehicle is more like a display piece than wargaming item!

Dude, the camo pattern on that figure is even finer than the real thing. That's insane!  If you ever manage to finish an army like this, it'll be stunning though! Looking forward to seeing a lot more of your stuff. Especially more Under Fire Russians.

Yup, thats the uniform I have. I was told it was the Flora pattern. What paints did you use, if you dont mind me asking?

Excellent, looks like we came to the same conclusion with the camo colors. The base color is the only thing I hadnt figured out yet. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your kind words. Another figure (from Under Fire Miniatures Russian range) I've painted in the last two days.
