SP

I greatly admire your painting style and particularly your muted colour schemes. Any chance of creating a tutorial?

 That's an excellently represented soup-strainer the neeling Para's got!

Aww..thank you chaps!

Today I've made a general for my Paras:



Once a get my hands on a Rubicon plastic airborne jeep I'll give him a ride to keep up with the troops ;)

More are in the works..
And there also is a Horsa still to come!

Really enjoying following this project! Seemingly all my regular opponents have been inspired to purchase an awful lot of British Para's!
Now listen to me you benighted muckers. We're going to teach you soldiering. The world's noblest profession. When we're done with you, you'll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men.

Finally someone has a close-enough approximation of the airborne beret colour... what paint did you use?

My guess is Army Painter Chaotic Red with a highlight of some lighter red?

Wash with Agrax Earthshade and some highlights with base colour again, that's all.

S.P
     Please can I ask which paints were used for
• trousers
• webbing
• green for the helmets

I echo the earlier post a painting guide would be great, I have to say the best British Paras I've seen

Thanks
Steve
