Great job. The detail is perfect. What colour of paints do you use? Sprays or brush on? What brands? I have some old Disney Atlantis Vehicles I want to convert and repaint. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

The models are undercoated light grey (spraycan).  The rest was painted.  The bodywork of the vehicles has Vallejo Russian Uniform Green as a base colour, drybrushed with Vallejo Khaki, then washed with GW Devlan Mud, highlighted with the base color and very lightly drybrushed with Vallejo Khaki.  Tires are simply black.  Mud is added by drybrushing some sand brown on wheels and undercarriage.  The canvas is painted Vallejo Khaki washed with Devlan Mud.  That's it.  Hopes this helps.
