And specifically, for 15mm? I'm working on it, and I have a couple of troops as "Test beds"…the problem I am having is that the US troops all carry so much crap..errr..gear, that finding a large spot to do the paint scheme on is pretty hard… So, any ideas for colors? Remember…woodland MARPAT, NOT Desert… |

Murphy, While I have not specifically done MARPAT, I have found that painting the mini in a base color and then using a toothbrush to spray the rest of the colors on works well. Thin the paint down with alcohol and spray it on in a fine mist. Then, paint everything else. The paint spatter looks pretty good for non-specific camo perhaps it would work for MARPAT. Use a target bit of white card first to get your technique down. Bob |

Sounds like a plan. Then do the marine kit in Coyote Tan and Chesty Pullerās yer uncle. |

I have had decent success using this tutorial on painting MARPAT. It is for painting Flecktarn pattern camo…but in 15mm works for MARPAT.
