I wanted to get some of the modern US
Military figures. I did a bit of research (I looked at wikipedia) for
a place to start. ACU is a pig of a camo scheme to replicate. I tried
and failed three times. It can be done in 15mm but it doesn't look
right. It's just too chunky. So I swapped having a scheme where you
could see the details of close for a scheme that looks good on the
tabletop. This was accomplished by stippling. As ACU is a mixture of
Desert Sand, Urban Gray and Foliage Green I looked for a range of
colours that mimicked these. Not wanting to make it look too dark I
lightened the shades a bit. I used festering green, kommando khaki
and fortress grey. The whole model was stippled in the three colours
before filling in the details. There is nothing particularly unusual
about how the rest was done. I am waiting on a few more to finish the
set.
There is still a little bit of work to do on the figures and I'll update the blog when they are done
