I'm going to paint some modern US Infantry in 15mm and was wondering if anyone had any handy tips to achieve the same effect as Multi cam? |

Toothbrush for applying the stipled effect, from what I've read. Haven't tried it, but makes sense to me. |

I'e had success using the "salt method" link A vehicle guide… but the principal holds |

I'll give the toothbrush a try thanks Mako.
Amazing idea BigNick. Modelers really are creative creatures! |

Salting has been used for many years by watercolour painters. Either a modeller re invented the technique or they watched an art programme. I would think a hogs hair paint brush would be better than a toothbrush for stippling.
Oil painters use hog bristle brushes so you can get them from art shops. 15 mil figures are pretty small scale. I wonder if you should really be able to make out much of a pattern at all. |

Because I had already painted the equipment they were molded into the tooth brush was too difficult for these first troops.
So I just got random with a normal brush. When the infantry turn up I'll try the toothbrush on them. |
