Just a quick post to show you my latest figure. First time painting ERDL cammo fatigues, hopefully it looks OK.

Figure is made up from Dragon parts from my spares box and painted using Humbrol enamels and Vallejo acrylics.

Back to my M48 dio now !!!!

Very nicely done Andy.The early Dragon stuff needed some work doing on them but at least they started giving us a change from the usual wwii stuff. The colour match came out nice there.

Thanks Mike,

Yeah those old Dragon figures are nowhere near what we are used to today, the experiment was to get the cammo right that is why I used these old parts (did'nt want to mess up a nice resin figure !!!)

I agree. That is very nice work on the cammo, although I remember the pattern being slightly tighter. Great job in any case.

Cyril,

The face camo is vallejo acrylic black grey and the same with a little flesh mix added for the highlights. It's not strictly accurate but I think it looks OK without completely obscuring the face. (Although the photos are a bit rubbish !)

Happy to help if you have any other questions.

Andy
