That green is a Vallejo: Verde Uniforme 70922 Uniform Green, the closest spray I know to that is Greenskin Primer from Warlord.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll go with paintspray then black details with a brush.

Very nice. I can't see the MG on TAG's site, do you have a code for it? I must get one.

Thanks Red but that's not the right gun, that's a GPMG and Phil's is a .50

Old Glory UK bought Brooks Miniatures. I don't think you can get them from OG USA.

Might be worth an email to them if you're interested, though. Or maybe a UK LAFer can help you out.

To the OP - thanks for posting those, and nice work. Good to see that the various manufacturers all mix well enough. I must look again at TAG for the .50 and some prone figs.  MTP is a pain in the arse, isn't it?

Here's the comparison shot

I did make a mistake, the HMG is actually Brooks/Old Glory UK. I've since corrected it -Thanks to Matakishi and Burkhard for spotting it. I picked it up at salute, think it was a new release for then.

After about 30 figs in MTP I'm quite happy with my technique, not sure it's totally accurate, but it suits my needs. Hoping to buy a piece of it this weekend at Military Odyssey https://www.military-odyssey.com/index.php?ix=1&iw=251&iz=0 (https://www.military-odyssey.com/index.php?ix=1&iw=251&iz=0) my first military show for a couple of years.
