One of the things I did to practice was draw a bunch of 1" squares on a piece of poster board, and painted several camo schemes in the squares to try them out first. One thing I will say that is this paintscheme demands a lot of patience.Dan Eldredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028212796512806387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832507778586404963.post-42344904905480385202011-12-03T20:14:25.715-05:002011-12-03T20:14:25.715-05:00Hey, I really like this tutorial and was just wond...Hey, I really like this tutorial and was just wondering what brush and techniques did you use to apply the two greys onto the model? I tried coping the thin stripes, but mine keep coming out like large blobs instead of stripsBigAndrew254https://www.blogger.com/profile/04595337590358125188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832507778586404963.post-27087253870602655102009-07-30T09:25:39.460-04:002009-07-30T09:25:39.460-04:00Sweet.

They are somewhat random, 3 of them are wearing ACUs, while two of them are in the old woodland pattern and have camouflage cloaks as well.<br />They'll probably stay that way until I decide to repaint the squad.<br /><br />@73rd:<br />Nomex Aviator Gloves were originally made for pilots (as the name suggests), but when I was doing research, looking for pictures of soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan, I was surprised at how often they showed up in pictures. I don't know that they are standard issue for ground troops, but I'm guessing that they are popular because they are relatively cheap (~$40), lightweight, and being made of nomex they are fire resistant.<br /><br />Do a search on google on "Nomex Aviator Gloves" and you'll find a ton of links.<br /><br />Heh, I just did a search on http://images.google.com for "soldiers in iraq" (no quotes), and the first photo that turned up was this one:<br />http://klepek.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/soldiers-samarra-iraq.jpg<br /><br />The two guys in the front are both wearing them.Darkwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335933745375951322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832507778586404963.post-64927131426805645952009-07-27T11:24:15.785-04:002009-07-27T11:24:15.785-04:00Great tutorial mate, they are very authentically c...Great tutorial mate, they are very authentically camouflaged. It's clever how the appearance of stripes is developed in camo. I haven't heard of those Aviator gloves before though, are they a standard issue for armed forces now, hence the influence on your models?73rdhttp://unforgivenangels.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832507778586404963.post-55622697429279427862009-07-27T10:43:59.566-04:002009-07-27T10:43:59.566-04:00Very cool looking - are you painting up the rest o...Very cool looking - are you painting up the rest of this command squad or are they already finished?Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.com
