I have recently finished painting 32 modern day Australian soldiers in 28mm from Skirmish Sangin . These figures are for deployment in Afghanistan and other contemporary warzones. They are great looking sculpts, very well proportioned and detailed making them a pleasure to paint. I have painted the figures in my version of the latest Australian Army issue camouflage gear, the Australian Multicam Camouflage Uniform (AMCU). For those of you interested in what colours I used: Camouflage base= Vallejo Iraqi Sand, followed by Secret Weapon Blue Black wash, then back over with Iraqi Sand. Camo colours overlayed on this base= Vallejo Russian Uniform, Flat Earth, Yellow Green, and small dots of Brown Violet. Gloves= some are Green Ochre & some P3 Traitor Green Weapons= Green Grey, Brown wash, back over with GG, other parts in Black Grey. Goggle Covers= Field Grey, Lifecolor Field Grey 1 Goggle strap= Lifecolor Field Grey 2 Radio Backpack etc.= English Uniform, US Field Drab, Khaki Boots= Khaki, Blue Black Wash, Khaki Gun Straps= P3 Traitor Green
There's loads more pictures on my blog if interested: link |

Great work! I have a platoon of 32 waiting paint at this time and I hesitate to start. The multicam looks to be a lot of work. I was wondering if I should try the duck hunter or the NZ/UK desert before? |

Very impressive, you've captured the look perfectly. |

Thanks everyone! @troopwo – I think the figures can look just as effective with a simpler camouflage pattern. If you look at the pictures of these figures on the Skirmish Sangin/RadioDishDash shop site you will see that they have used a simpler pattern, probably more reflective of the earler desert style patterns. |

That's what I was thinking too. The NZ/UK desert pattern looks a lot easier to try. I wonder if the Kiwis changed their cam patterns too from the older UK DPM and desert DPM too? I have to look now for other ideas too. Anyone know if these figures will do as either Austrians or Singaporeans? |
