Thanks, again, all  8)

Several people have asked me how do do DPM - I don't normally do step-by-steps as, to be honest, they're a PITA but as I had a bit of time today whilst varnish is drying I've done one. Apologies in advance if there's a bit of Egg-sucking....

#1 Block in the base colour - I use a roughly 50/50 mix of Vallejo English Uniform and Iraqi Sand - it doesn't need to be super neat as it will all get covered up



#2 Highlight the base by adding a bit more Iraqi Sand to the mix...



#3 All over wash of thinned Vallejo Smoke - adds shadows and covers a multitude of sins!



#4 Green Blotches - thinned Vallejo Refractive Green (any medium green will do - if you look at any 2 pictures of DPM the colours will be different) - just remember to stop the pattern at seams, pockets et cetera



#5 Brown Blotches - thinned Vallejo Flat Brown (as with the green, the colour doesn't really matter)



#6 Black Squiggles - thinned Vallejo Black with a drop of German Camo Black Brown added to take the edge off



#7 Colour in the rest...

Lovely daubing but if you are looking to depict the green lightweight trousers you should file off the right hand cargo pocket.

Very OCD I know but I had to do it, plus file off the the shell dressing pocket on every jacket arm for a platoon’s worth of 1960s era Brits and I want every other bugger to feel the pain too. :D

Nice work (as expected).

Thanks for the DPM guide, and to others over the SLR furniture information (saves me making mistakes over my Australians for Vietnam).

I get that same wide-eyed look of horror from my figures when I approach them with a brush too! (Great tutorial, thanks.)
