Panzer Grenadiers - 6mm BKCII

In my last post, I started the process of painting some Panzer Grenadiers, and wanted to give the impression of an oak-leaf camouflage. In this scale, it's not easy, especially as I didn't want to spend an hour per figure. I thought I could get an impression by simply dabbing using an old stiff paintbrush. You can judge for yourself how successful it was. Personally, I think the brown I used was too dark for this scale, and looks almost black.

    I couldn't see any pattern in the photos shown. Could you take one from the same angle as you previous post with the base coat?

    Overall I like the look of the completed bases and models.

    I can just make out the pattern on the last photo - and yes, a lighter brown perhaps - or get a decent phone :-P

    I will try and get a better picture when I get home. You can clearly see a camo pattern on the figures, it just doesn't show up too well on these pics, and the brown i used was more of an umber and is too dark. I still have the Fallschirmjaeger to do, and will make sure I go for a lighter coloured palette for those. (very pale green base, then reddish brown and green patches, then ink wash.)
