Need Help Painting Zombie's and Army Uniforms
« on: 12 July 2012, 03:59:46 PM »
I've had some Victory Force undead soldiers lying around for a while and I have only just gotten around to being able to paint them but I'm not really sure how to paint the flesh or the uniforms.

I want the Zombies to be wearing this kinda looking uniform. Because they're the national guard that were first sent in to handle the situation.


But I also want to know how to paint the ACU kinda uniform. For my living Army guys that are professionals.


Also how do I do good looking intestines, blood and bone for the zombies.
Can you guys please help me with this because I really have no idea what I am doing.

Are you going for US patern troops or UK?
Becase the US, NG are all kited out in ACUs, units currently being deployed to combat zones are useing the US version of Mult-cam now.

I'm doing U.S but I wanted to different paint schemes to differentiate the dead national guard from the living U.S army guys. It just seems more fun then having army guys all the same colour

Have a look at this site for: http://camopedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page it should help.

 The first image you used is of British troops, so you might want to take a look at the US woodland cam if you want old style out of date no longer used cams for your NG.

This can be painted fairly easy.
Paint it in the background light grey green - Vallejo MC Pastel Green, perhaps - and then just stipple the white, or offwhite, with a stiff brush or tiny, tiny piece of sponge. Practice a little at first to see how much (well, little, it's a bit like drybrushing) paint you should have on the brush.

Mate, there are enough threads on painting zed flesh already that you could search for on the forum, so I won't post up my 'flavours' here, so have a little search and your come up trumps.

Cherno nice job on the US woodland camo on your miniatures. Thanks for the link to the US woodland camo painting guide, its a good and simple guide and I will be using it in future.
 By the way what brand are those minatures and are they 28mm or so ?
