thank you !

You may have noticed that the camo is a bit darker and less "readable" than the sample fig I painted first, I used a bit strong shade wash I'm afraid !

Nice work!.

You may enjoy this. Combat footage shot in Guiné and as an added bonus for you the narration is in French:

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thumbs up! I also did some Portuguese conversions a few years ago. Top photos are DFE (Special Marines).

Very well done!
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Lizard-style camos are pretty hard to make, I have to admit (as I said before) that I didn't obtain the results I expected on my commandos, because of the heavy wash I didn't control enough  ::)

Here's some updates, not concerning figures I'm afraid, but I finally finished my "bush wars" skirmish gaming mat, with integrated "fake fur" grass. I could not resist to take a few pics   ;D












Slow updates, but I'm slowly progressing finding some time for my own wargaming projects   :)

Great job on the camo, you really have captured the whole look. Is the the 6 wheeled truck in the images the Dinky/Solido Berliet?
