Thanks Piotr

I just painted the camo with a fine brush but with the help of X4 glasses.

Amazing Cougar! Another one JERRV today, after this one:
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/252942#2144044
Again great wethering and lovely small vignette with little 'story' to tell. Congratulations!

Two small questions:
- do You remember number of paints used to paint pattern of ACU?
- what is the source of these two resin bags inside the vehicle and black box next to the Talon robot?

Wow! This is so much better than my effort. The figures look amazing! That's certainly where my one is lacking!

Thanks you all for your kind comments!

A few replies:
The bags are from a Hobby Fan set (if my memory is OK)
The flycase close to the talon is from Pro Art.

The figures were painted using Prince August (same as Vallejo).
The base colour is 928 (light skin)+ 70% 819 (Iraki sand)
The pixels are: 906 (US blue)+ a grey (don't remember which one) and other colour is 899 (dark prussian blue)+ the same grey.
I did a filter of highly diluted 906+grey , then i did the shallow and important: a mat varnish.
It was my first ACU , the next will be perhaps with more grey/green pixels colour.

Hi
The driver is a Nemrod figure (Humvee crew), since he's almost invisible i exchanged his boots with one of the standing figure.
The two standing ones are from a Master Box set. I added Live Resin heads, trumpeter ammo pouchs and M4 rifles. I had to use some putty to do the arms and legs pockets.

I don't find the pics i had of these figures before paint...
