Camo is a tricky thing as what you really want to do is give the impression of the pattern as actually doing the patter will make the overall seem too busy. For myself, I've found what works for me is I paint in very bright tones and then I hit them with a final wash (devlan mud or earthtone) to bring them down and help blend them.<br /><br />BTW I love your buildings and look forward to getting a set.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-63164822373900052352016-01-27T20:00:54.648-06:002016-01-27T20:00:54.648-06:00Looks real good to me.

Except for Rangers and high disciplined troops, spec ops and Frontline knuckle-draggers don't really look too uniform. Scarves, baclavas, hats, patches, eyewear, plate carriers...it all gets adjusted to the troop and how the individual wants to fight. Uniformity isn't that common on the mission. Basic gear and mission essential are fully present, but the folks that enforce the "uniform rules" don't show up where I roll! ;)david bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373599516429004062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-24470581797424477972016-01-27T18:33:50.463-06:002016-01-27T18:33:50.463-06:00These will look really cool on the tableThese will look really cool on the tableMartinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465653471454483708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-84404819784669807722016-01-27T18:09:37.888-06:002016-01-27T18:09:37.888-06:00The problem with painting camo is that it is desig...The problem with painting camo is that it is designed to obscure details.

Painting it manually doesn't work (well, not without spending 10 hours a fig), sponge looks like crap (looks sponged, surprise surprise), and the toothpick method looks ok I guess but takes a while and you still get some that looks like round dots instead of square patterns.ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-89964665766640626522016-01-27T17:25:33.011-06:002016-01-27T17:25:33.011-06:00Impressive!
