I'm not great at painting 15mm figures, but I do like them to look at least half-way believable. I've dug out some old BF Afrika Korps, and I'm making a start on getting them painted. They're not great figures, to be honest, but I've seen worse.
This is the method I've settled on that seems to work for me:
- Primed with Green Brown surface primer
- Then 914 Green Ochre for the uniform base coat.
- Just Buff for the trousers. I'll use Iraqi Sand for the helmets and other painted metal.
- After lightly dry-brushing with Bone White for highlights, and washing overall with Agrax Earthshade, another wash on just the jacket with Athonian Camoshade greens it up a bit without making it too bright.
