"Painting guide for US Army 80's camo using Vallejo" Topic

Hey, I need a good painting guide for 15mm US Army woodland camo in the 80's using Vallejo paints. Flames of War has a guide but it's using their paints which I can't get.

I would love to see this as well, there is a item on line for it..but it's really for bigger figures and honestly, won't work for 15 and 20mm stuff.

The Flames of War paints are just relabeled Vallejo, aren't they? Someone must have a "conversion" guide…

This might be of help. I'm anxious to try it myself, though a 20mm miniature might be used. It's hard to tell from the blog. I'm sure the technique could be adapted though.

I have used the following colours which seem to work;
Base coat Vallejo 850 medium olive or 922 US uniform -this seems bright when you apply it but it will dissapear and tone down, and you want to be able to see it at the end.
Patches/splodges of 983 flat earth, covering about about 50% of the base coat,and then horizontal blotches of 821 German camo beige covering about 35% of the uniform,finally very small black x or y shapes-no more than about 10%, all the colours can go over any other.Paint the webbing 887 brown violet and equipment(dragons LAWs torches etc) 893 US Dark green. boots weapons and flesh and then a dark wash and a couple of highlights.

Hmm… a new bug at work

Thank you
