For all the people that have missed it here are the Four Updates before this one:

And now it is time for the 5th Update: Guncamo and the first steps of the Dio setup.
I can talk for hours about this but I`m not going to do this I let the Pics do their work. Enjoy:
The Gun With Camo






First setup of figures. This is about the way the figures will come on the Dio


Overview:


I`m sorry not all of the pics are of High standard but My Cam is not that suffisticated. As Always I like to hear all Feedback.

Impressive. I'm not sure if you noticed in the original inspirational pic, I didn't until today, there there is some equipment stashed in the camouflage on the AT gun.

The Foliage is done with Some sort of bandage Gauge. Not the netted/woven type but more like Pressed Stuff. When you pull it apart it looks the same like Cottonballs. Made a really fine "Blanket" of it and used diluted whiteglue to glue it first on some kitchenplastic then I sprinkled crushed parsley and Birch seeds over it. I took it off the kitchenfoil stuck it to the gun and after curing I ran some washes over it with different greens.

Pigments are so versatile my friend you can use them in a million ways

Hey Faust,
Looking good so far. I have used tea leaves for foliage with pretty good results. I take them right out of the bag and soak them in paint to get the colour I want, ( a light green). Then a couple of washes of a darker shade and Voila!
