75th Anniversary of Battle of Monte Cassino and Northern Italy (Army Build)
Fallschirmjager - Camo part 2
Having added the reflective green blobs across all of the tunics, I now need to add the brown. I’ve used Camo Beige for this.
Having looked at a few reference pictures, it appears that the brown in the camo pattern runs more in lines and so I have tried to apply it in short ‘slashes’ with the brush. Given the scale here, it was inevitable that these slashes would cover some of the green, which was why I applied the green first. Again, from the reference images, the green is very much secondary to the brown. I’ve also ignored all of the pouches, belts and ammo packs as these will get painted next so it doesn’t matter if these get camo pattern over them!

Great start on these forces! Looking forward to seeing some Monte Cassino 75th anniversary gaming – definitely a worthy project! 😀
Thanks! But you’ll have to wait until next year for the gaming part of this project. Will also look to run some games on conflicts further North in Italy as well. I’m thinking of the battles around Rimini
where I can re-use my Gurkhas. And of course plenty of ‘assault’ type games trying to break through the German Gothic line.
