Beachbum should be very happy now.....

These are my recently finished SS MG team (DML kit) in oak leave pattern cammo






Adios!

Thanks Alan. You'll have to excuse the forum today as weekends it tends to be a bit quiet. I appreciate the assist and I'm positively sure that many forum members will as well coz the pea pattern camo which you do very well will help them as a good reference.

wow....my comments are the some with the one left at armorama..

excellent

how did you paint the cammo?? love the bright green color....
this pattern is the most difficult for me to paint...never really succeed painting the patern...
any tips to share? which color did u laid first?? (beside the base color of course..)

what color did u use??

and u must have a very fine brush to do that...my #00 cant do it...

woh... can request for bigger close-up pictures..??

Sil since old Flooge is not around for now, I'll help answer one of your questions. As far as I know Alan uses mainly cheapo brushes which he cuts to fit his needs. However, we will leave your other questions to the WW II German Camo Sifu when he comes back online.

is that true?? maybe he learn the cheap thing from u...hehehehe

till then, we have to wait for the sifu to online....i have 4 set of waffen-SS is dying to be finished...the project halted due to my poor skills....

Aiseh man...thanks for the nice comments...very shy lah :P
My skills only so-so lah...lots of other sifus out there better than me :lol:

What Beachbum said is true...my brushes are cheapo ones that I cut to suit my needs. Much more economical for poor people like me ;)

Well, the 1st layer is of course he base colour, followed by the brown, then the dark green splotches. Kinda like what you did for your Ambush at Poteau set actually. Hard to explain lah...need to actually show in real life leh....Speaking of which, where are the finished pics of those figures, Sil? Would love to see them :))

Heh..just went to MH just now during lunch time..picked up 3 boxes of DML figure sets for 20% off..couldn't resist.. :(

Cheers!
Alan

Alan as I was just telling Sil you inquired about his 'many' unfinished sets. Looks like your advice may get him back into finishing them if he is not too busy playing spy/traitor in the other sections. :D

Alan,

my figure is still in the paint shop some poor guy tripped the main switch and the shop was put to stop...anyway, the spareparts for the shop is due to be arrived somewhere next month...
in the meantime, i can play double agent or tripple agent ........

seriously Alan, how can i see it in real life?? are you going to put a painting workshop?? i will bring the ambush at poteau fig for the workshop.......

Hey Sil,

LOL ...me do a workshop?? Not good enough lah...like blind leading the blind :o

Anyways, if/when we meet up ( :lol: ) I'll give you some pointers on how I do the cammo :P

Cheers!
Alan

I'm sure Loo would agree with me to pin this topic as it will serve as a good reference for one of the many WW II German camo schemes. Thanks Alan (Floogen) for his contribution. A nice kick-off for the newly reformed Figure forum.

Alan, perhaps we can get a in progress log from you in the progress section? It will be useful to a lot of beginners.

Hi Loo,

Which progress shots? You mean any new figures that I am doing? The above figures have already been finished :P

I'm in the progress of doing another batch of figures at the moment...I'll make sure I shoot some pics of them every now and then to show the progress. Do I post them intermittenly as I go along, or wait till I finish them and post all the pics together?

Cheers!
Alan

Alan you can post them as you go along and I will pin the thread just like I did this one so that it wouldn't move down. Many thanks in advance for the help as this may help "turn" others to the good side of the force. :rolleyes:

Can't wait Alan, start posting them today.... B)
