Eureka Miniatures 28mm Rhodesian Light Infantry

I am not a natural painter of "modern" subjects and the painting of camouflage usually leaves me cold, but I was asked to paint up this small collection of Rhodesian Light Infantry from the Eureka Miniatures' 28mm African Wars range and, fancying a bit of a change, I accepted the task. The chap kneeing is a Selous Scout Tracker. I have tried to give the flesh tones a warmer, more sun-tanned look.

    Excellent!

    I have some of these figures ready to tackle. Any hints on colours and approach to the camo?

      Csmmo is s base coat of VMC khaki. Irregular patches of VMC medium Olive, then VMC flat brown and finally VMC flat earth. To be honest, daub the paint on and don't think to much on the end result. Life is too short! This is why I don't like painting cammo... It is very easy to be over critical of one's efforts.
