G'Day, mate!

My attempt to paint this Laserburn mercenary in Australian camouflage called Auscam. I tried to make these colourfull dots big enough to see them from tabletop height. Final result does not looks as I expected, comparing it to real Auscam. I tried to add more dots and make them smaller, but then all shadows and highlights on model become obscured by these dots...So I like my result. Yes, its not perfect but I like it. Remember its 15mm, not 28mm model. And if you paint 15mm model in realisticly proportioned camouflage its start to blend with gaming terrain.

  1. Nice camo! The GZG OUDF guys in bush hats would make good Ozzies as well (as that is what they are, in a science fiction sort of way).

  2. I second the GZG OUDF guys in bush hats as a nice mix in with this guy, good cammo there, and your right the way you go about painting 15s is VERY different from 28s! My own camouflage schemes are more of a parody of actual camouflage than a realistic portrayal just so you can see them on the table!
    Thing is camouflage works and I've had units disappear on the table long enough to miss their shooting/movement turn.....I've learned lol

  5. Top work mate, ,I think you've hit that perfect balance of giving the impression of a camouflage without the mini looking too cluttered.
