I did. Bearing in mind that I only brush paint, with some camouflage colours I have found that I can replicate a feathered edge by keeping a wet edge to the paint and merging the two lightly, then running over with a very thin coat of the darker colour. With these, apart from juggling 3 brushes at once, the tan proved difficult - just too much contrast with the other two I suspect.Stupot wrote:
You mentioned you were using these to experiment. With several colours involved, did you find this a difficult scheme to apply
I now have some darker tan and darker green, which I will use on the next Vietnam War model - it may prove better!

Applying 3 colours at once sounds difficult but you did a great job.gengriz wrote:I did.

Superb pair of models Fred, this is tempting me to build similar subjects.
