Civs US 82nd Airborne - 28mm
The first five
- These five will be my first go at apinting the US paras. I have a 15mm US para force and so have copied the colours used on them (FOW youtube tutorial for reference).
Im a bit concerned at how green they are looking compared with my references (mainly band of brothers). The Para uniform seems to be more of a dark beige colour so i think i may have to change my painting receipe. THese are fairly far along now though so they will stay as they are, maybe i’ll mark them as rangers or something.
If anyone can suggest a good set of paints using the vallejo range do let me know.

Have very good colour guides. Swapping from 15mm to 28mm doesn’t always works as 15mm tends to go for greater contrast as the minis are smaller.
@gerry thanks for the link, ive tried to blend the paints more so its not so stark as you are right about 15mm needing more contrast. Think i’ll be painting the rest in a more brown green colour.
