Without further ado...
Being all they can be.

Private Kowalski (there's always got to be one)
Private Jones
The miniatures are from Black Scorpion Miniatures' US Marines range but they serve just as well as US Army characters.
For anyone interested in replicating the camouflage pattern, a simulation of the US Army's standard issue ARPAT(ACU) digital camo, a tutorial can be found HERE. I played around with the technique a bit but the paints were all as in the tutorial.
That's all, folks! Apart from the Safe House JustGiving page, of course.

Excellent additions mate. Camo looks great on them
ReplyDeleteThanks, dude. It's a really simple tutorial and although my results are very different from those shown there, I was still pleased.
DeleteGreat figures, Simon. I should know as I have all of this range. Your camo pattern is very well done, and very different to mine. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bryan. I do love this range of minis and they're very well cast. I am so used to the absence of air bubbles in these models that one got away from me on the SAW gunner's ammo bag.
DeleteThat's very nice camouflage! I hope it's not too good and you lose the miniatures :-) .
ReplyDeleteLOL! Cheers, mate.
DeleteVery nice figures dude.
ReplyDeleteTop marks for the cammo too.
Ta, mate. 'll be doing a lot more camo jobs in the near future, particularly on the merc model I'm releasing.
DeleteExcellent paint job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil.
DeleteExcellent work. Like these a lot.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Mark. I'm glad you like them.
DeleteGreat job as usual!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I wouldn't guess which camo is it, but it still came out nice. I like large patches.
It's just an illusion to emulate worn ARPAT BDUs. Digital camouflage painted in 28mm is more of a suggestion than realistic. Like painting eyes. ACU is really bright when new but wears and fades very quickly. Interestingly, this is by design as the old fatigues were so rugged that they ended up recirculating into foreign forces. Uniforms are no use if the enemy wears the same one so the new BDU was born. And it's s**t. Lol.
DeleteThey don't look a subtle bunch. The Camo looks real good dude! I can see these troops kicking some serious ar*e>
ReplyDeleteLets hope their friendly. Thanks, mate.
DeleteThose are very cool and the camo is great!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Adam.
