Hi guys I couldn't find my cadmium oxide which is used for the green camo (its been 15 years since I used it) so tried to mix up some using raw umber and a light green, but its very light, might have to go over it with paint, the red brown came out OK, its all sealed under a matt coat now. Going to do some more work on these this arvo, lots more work needed on the figs to.

Personally I think your colors look just fine. There was a wide variation in color intensities. For field applied finishes the unit received the paste which had to be mixed with various liquids, petrol being just one, and applied. Being a modeler, in addition to being a gamer, I can understand not being happy with a result :) |

I agree with Marc, green looks great. But would the Germans have wasted paint on Schwimmvagons? Small enough to hide, not like Panzer IV and other tanks. GdeP |

Yes, schwimmwagens were camoed, they even camoed horse drawn carts. |
