This is my 1st attempt at building/painting a large scale figure - Legends Productions 1/16 US Navy Seal. I've tried painting UCP and OCP (MultiCam) in 1/35, but in that scale it's mostly just splodges of colour...at least when I do it
The figure is unmodified, built as per the (vague) instructions, and the only addition are the shell casings on the floor. These are actually 1/35 .50 cal casings but they are approximately correct for 1/16 5.56mm casings.
Thanks for looking, comments appreciated!

Nicely done; which colours did you use, please? And, did you airbrush any of it?
Keep up the good work,

Thanks Kyle! For the colours, I tried to match paints from Vallejo with a printed out MultiCam sample. There are 6 colours in the pattern which roughly split into 3 groups:
Base layer:
Earth - Iraqi Sand
Brown - US Flat Brown
Green Layer:
Light - Pale Green
Dark - Interior Green
Top Layer
Chocolate Brown - Armour Brown
Tan - Ivory
I spray painted the primer coat, and then airbrushed the base Brown and Earth shades in various patterns trying to match the real scheme. I didn't use any masking for these coats as the 2 base colours blend into each other a lot. The 4 top colours were brush painted starting with the 2 green colours, followed by the top layer.
The whole thing was then tied together with a combination of oil paints and pigments.
