28mm Empress Moderns 2 Scots (RHF)

This is easily the most daunting thing i have ever painted. The thought of painting MTP camo on such gorgeous figures scared the life out of me but i forced myself to do it.

Personally i don't think it's bad. It's not going to win me anything but im happy to game with them. They look a tad too green i think but then again i was in Tesco this afternoon and a Cadet Officer walk past me in his full MTP and it did look very green.

Although they can be any regiment in Afghanistan mine will be the 2 Scots (Royal Highland Fusileers)  as i got these figures just at the time that 2 Scots lost 3 of it's boys in Afghanistan.



The two pilots will be great for a Black Hawk down style game and i couldn't not paint one of them to be a certain Ginger haired pilot who does us proud.

Good job. I have yet to paint any of my WWII figures with camo so I'm dreading getting my Empress KS moderns!

Cheers guys. I have another two squads and two small SAS squads to be done and now im scared that if i make them better than these they will look different. The worry of doing Camo is never ending
