Peadot Troopers

For fun, I thought I'd give one of my favourite WWII German camouflage patterns a whirl.

I wanted to try and keep a 'WWII' German style-inspired colour palette with these guys.
I use cheap Dollar Store/Walmart acrylics.

Got my base washes and coats down, then the patterns, then detailing and some dry brush/black washing to tone stuff down a bit.
I used clear floor polish brushed on to seal them. I find that going over the floor polish with a wet brush, almost 'scrubbing' can help tone down the glossy finish.






I reversed the application areas on the second trooper to help give a bit more shelf diversity.
Plus I can always swap the helmets to help achieve different looks, as well.




And here they are with the helmets switched.



Here's a little Work In Progress shot to give you an idea how they started out.

They look very cool. And thank you also for the painting tips.

Thanks Paul!

I really like to see 'non white' Storm Troopers, and camouflaged ones are a rare sight.

The helmet design, especially on the back, along with the gasmask canister/thermal detonator on the belt really help to sell ze german look.

Thanks! Yeah sometimes a colour change like this camo pattern can really make the German influences look a bit more obvious in the trooper design.

I'm doing Clone Commander Gree up in this pattern as well, now, just for fun.
