Abe has camo!..... seeing as i dont have any moving parts for this project yet :S' i am doing most the 'detailed work' so i layed down the basic Camo

i am not the best with an Air-brush in the world' infact this is the second thing i haved ever sprayed ;)

where the pattern come from i have noooo idea? it just evolved that way' i will do some finer hand painted detail next....rust/dents scratch's etc. even tho i have no idea how to do it 8O
anywho!

So a big bold base green to start with
Image

add some brown
Image

add some darker green and darker brown, and pin stripe the edges

and just dust over it with a cloud of black to tone it all down??
