Modern Italian troops Uniform

A little pratical guide on how to paint the VEGETATA camo uniform for the Italian army 2000-today.

Despite the few miniatures avaibility and most of all the serious lack of seeing them on any modern game rules (where you can see any nation, but not us) , italian armed forces could be found in most of the modern scenaros where our troops are (or were) in charge of large zones, like: Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Africa, etc... just search Wikipedia.
So for my fellow countrymen this guide is in italian only.
For anyone interested just ask me, I'll be glad to translate it, but I think the pictures are quite self-explanatory.



Ciao

PS: a real life picture.

Nice painting, and nice painting guide, too!  Don’t even need a translation!

Wonderful effect on the painting. Thank you for the guide. While I don't currently have plans for any more US allied forces for current era games ( working on their op forces now) I may have to give that camo to some near future contractors I was trying to decide on.

What figures are you using for your troops?

Thank you again

...What figures are you using for your troops?

Simply, the only available   .
They are former-Venexia miniatures (Mark Sims sculpts I recall), I got two "original" sets, those in the picture were painted for a friend of mine he got them from the new owner: Jerwood Miniatures. Raw miniatures are better looking than the the pics in the store.

Nice I hadn't realized those figures had been re-released. Thanks again
