Very nice lister.

You know they always seem to look better to other people at first, but will grow on you over time. The colours are always a bit bright when fresh, but they will blend a bit and will become more subtle if you use a wash on it.

Well done, I think it looks great.

Lister,
I agree with Scalawag. A great pattern that with a wash will come out as completely authentic. ;o) Good Work!

Really nice job on the camo scheme Lister,
as already said, a tan wash for tritone camo will really tie this together well.
