Ok, as stated in a earlier thread here is my test model for my 28mm Acu's.

Note:
It is not finished... this is a test model. Alot that is painted is just a placeholder to get an overall feel.

I am looking for feedback on the Acu's. C&C is welcome.

Enjoy.

Well, I own ACU, and there are a few things you could fix up. On the shoulders (There is velcro) which should be the medium green color of the ACU pattern, you've got it painted ranger green by the looks of it. Which is fine, just if you want to make it more accurate to the cut that would be one thing to fix.

**jp400**

Yes,
Well I origionally had it painted the same color but it didnt stand out near enough in my eyes. Plus I plan to paint Unit/combat patches on which will cover most of it up. I will tone it down tomorrow back to what it was.

Good job! It gives the right impression of a very complex pattern - I might suggest a slightly darker wash on the boots - only to bring out some of the detail. I'd like to see the whole squad when it's done!

I'm not gonna lie...those Digi ACUs look amazing...

**jp400**

Thanks for the feedback.

Would people be interested on a step by step on how I did this? Ive got 3 more guys to paint up and I could do it tomorrow. Only took me about an hour today to get the Acu to where it is at above.. and most of that was spent in experimentation.

...Why do they look better then the ones in my closet?

**thesilverback**

Nice job. Holding my arm up to match the colors, the light green is on the dark green is a little light but I think you got better colors than the ACU. Yours actually have that sun faded feel. I like them, again nice job. Hope to see a whole squad of them. Also were are the figures from?
