Thanks guys its much appreciated,  they are a joy to paint  :)

The base colour is vallejo US dark green washed with army painter dark tone. One dry reinstate the US dark green,  high light with Russian uniform green ww2 from vallejo. Then its just a case of painting in the black stripes and careful  high lighting with dark grey. Then a steady hand and small brush using pastol green from vallejo to add the lighter coloured stripes. Hope that helps

Thanks again for the comments and feedback guys 😊

Thanks guys, I'm adding a few bits of scenery to my collection. Let's see if I can transform the big bag of aquarium plants into some sort of jungle  ;)

Very nice work. I am certainly going to have a look at that Tiger Stripe scheme.
