I am working on the Fallschirmjager figures that came with the 1/35 Dragon King Tiger kit. any suggestions to how those little vertical dark green stripes can be painted besides my 20/0 paint brush? also what color should I use as a base color to the jacket? I so far am definitely going to use field grey for the pants and helmet and leather black for the boots lightened with grey for both.
Well, the brush would be my route. Don’t know of any others. As far as base color, it depends on what kind of paint. I use Humbrol when I’m not using oils. For the Luftwaffe splinter pattern I use 187 or 72, which are tans, as a base. The Wehrmacht had different shades of base for their splinter camo which were seasonal. I usually use 94 for the tan base and then add a little 80 Grass green to lime it out for the green shaded base. Then for the winter shade, I’d use the tans I mentioned for the Luftwaffe, 187 and 72.
