    Roger,

    this camo is a tricky one and difficult to get right for the smock has 5 different colors in it.
    a yellow, light green, dark green, brown and black.
    the exact names for those tones I don't know.
    I will ask my colleague for he has a big british airborne collection and has done lots of research on operation Market Garden.
    For his collection see

    I'm sorry this is all in dutch but you can see the pics.

    If you want to get some painting tips look at gino poppe
    http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23864&highlight=british para
    He has done both of Alexander Miniatures british para's and they are now their standard picture.

    I hope this is of help to you.

    Groeten Willem

    Roger,

    I think you've made a very good start and the colours you're using for the camo look spot on. I'd like to see a little more definition between the colours to highlight the patterns. It looks a bit blurred together for my liking, but then again that's what camoflague is designedto do, isn't it!! Keep going mate.

    Cheers

    Cheers Tony, you should be able to see an improvement in the definition in this new set of photo's, hopefully:D

    hi roger,
    what happened ? you discovered WWII last week ? :D

    however nice start, it's true that painting a denison smoke is not the easier but this camo is one of my favorite.
