Hi, Alex,


The set up is:
black over brown over green over sand.

Sample here:

From experience: with humbrol, all colors are available. You just have to paint layer by layer. Mind the times for drying! At least one day per color is necessary. At the end, washes and shading can be done with very transparant water based colors in the same shade.

Good luck

Hi,

The colours for british jungle DPM is slightly different from that shown in the tutorial...

Added to this is the fact that DPM colours changed with every batch... it was a source of pride to try and get hold of the 1970's pattern jungle DPM as the colours were much more vibrant and garish than the norm... and no-one could have a go as they were issue!
