I bought the army painter Combat Fatigues thinking it would be closer to US army fatigues since I just started painting the new US infantry. It turned out to be a bit too light. I had started with Vallejo US dark green which makes the fatigues look like brand new ones with no fading. I settled for using the dark green as a base color, then mixing it with the combat fatigues for my high light. Not marines I know, just thought it might be of some help.
Hello, I live in Oklahoma. I have been interested in history for many years. World War II is one of my favorite subjects. I have only recently begun to collect and paint Bolt action minis. I have been collecting and painting for over 30 years. I have learned a few new painting techniques over the years, most of them over the last few years. I like to use acrylics. I think I have improved my skills greatly. I enjoyed Sascha Herm’s article on painting US infantry very much.
