painting splittermuster camo smocks and trousers
Let’s start with the Splittermuster (photo 1) pattern since it was the easiest for me. Figure #2, #5, and #6 from the Desperate Defense set is perfect for this since it was either the trousers or the smock that needed to be painted.Step 1: Lay down a base color of 821 German Camo Beige WWII (photos 2, 3 & 4).
On the real thing, the camo patterns are geometric with straight edges instead of curves. So with that said…..
Step 2: Mix 80% 969 Flat Park Green with 20% Olive Green and lay down the first camo color (photos 5, 6 & 7).
Step 3: The brown color is 826 German Camo Medium Brown (photos 8, 9 & 10).
Step 4: Before I actually painted on the “splinters,” I went ahead and outlined the pockets and stitch lines with 872 Chocolate Brown thinned with a little bit of water. I also added Chocolate Brown to the base color with a little bit of water for the folds and creases.
Step 5: At this point, I added the “splinters” with 979 German Dark Green. This was done with the smallest brush I had and it took practice to get it just right, not to small or to big (photos 11, 12 & 13).
Step 6: Last was to add the highlights to the tops of the folds and creases. I did this by adding 845 Sunny Skin Tone to the base color (photos 14, 15 & 16).

Thanks a lot, Pete. Great work. Do hope this'll tempt you into the world of WW2. And thanks, Engin, for putting all together.

No problem David. Stay tuned over on Armorama for an "On Display" feature with these and other figures form the set in a small diorama I did. I think it cam out ok even though it might be historacly accurate.
