Thanks to the talented Andy, we can give you here a small but very effective tutorial on how to paint the TAP57-52 paratroopers uniform.

Andy has chosen acrylic paints from the Game Workshop range.

Green camo stripes:
Loren Forrest

Brown camo stripes:
Gorthor Brown

4th step

Brown wash with Agrax Earthshade(uniform/ skin/ helmet)

Black Wash with Nuln Oil (rifle/ metal parts/ boots)

5th step Highlights

Skin

Camo pattern highlighted with Ogryn Camo.
Careful, don't get carried away, it's camouflage after all ;-)

Finished :-)

Embarrassingly easy. But I like it this way....!
