USMC (20mm)
« on: January 20, 2010, 04:34:26 AM »
I start painting up my Japanese for a big Tarawa (Betio) battle last August.  Now I'm finally starting to paint up some Marines.  My goal this year is to paint up a whole company (part of the reason I decided to go with 20mm).  These mini's are from Brittania Miniatures.

Took me a couple of tries to get something close to the Green camo used at Tarawa. 





I hope you like 'em.

They look good to me , although I think the entrenching tool covers and bandoliers would be drill or green.
I'm returning to 20mm as well so enjoy seeing this kind of thing.

I particularly like the camouflage, it's very well done, though like Dan, I would of thought the bandoliers etc would be khaki drill.  :)

Thanks guys.  I probably have gotten the bandoliers and entreching tool covers the wrong color.  I was basing the equipment colors off a painting instead of actual pictures of equipment. Oops! Hopefully an easy fix.

The camo was based on a real uniform picture at least!

The camo is excellent... the pattern is immediately recognizable.  Which isn't always an easy thing in 20mm.  Sometimes you end up with a blotchy mess.  (Or at least, I do. :?)
