Long slow process using decal's for ACU. Not sure if I'm on to something that doable or I'm going to flip the table. Main hold up....color to use for under the armor. I do not want a "pure" ACU look like in the third pic. Yes its my chubby self. Reason why I went decal is the ability to break up the smooth lines.

That looks really good, to scale camo. Also looks brutal to paint ; p

Looks good on the minis. Too bad it's gak on the soldiers.

If I were going to the trouble, I'd relieve the decal along the panel lines on the minis. Since the process is already a royal PITA, I'd at least make sure it looks a good as possible. The panel lines in black will add a lot to the look of the mini IMO.

Use a color similar to Foliage Green, the color the fleeces are.
