  1. Looks great, Dougie. What Vallejo colour did you use for the rifle? Some sort of grey?

    Cheers,

    1. Mike, yup shades of grey, I'll cover this is a tutorial together with flesh that I've had a few requests for, basically for the rifle less is definately more and try to hit the edges/highlights of the weapon.

  4. Hi Dougie,

    Just wanted to say thanks for posting your guide. I tried it this weekend on my MJ Brits and it worked a treat. I found putting the dark sand over the English uniform a bit scary but then the whole scheme suddenly started to pop, brilliant. Thanks mate. I'll post a link to some pics a bit later.

    Looks like my new Falklands collection is well under way
