35 stands of splinter camo by the 4th of Sept seems like a daunting job.

That is indeed insane. Good luck and share some pics with us in the modeling forums if you pull it off!

Nice list, but I've heard people complain about low numbers of nebs before... if you are just using them for smoke though it should be quite effective.

Yeah, the nebs are for smoke. If I wanted heavy lifting arty, I would at least go for the FJ 10.5s.

Given the email I recieved fromwork this morning, and the new projects "improved" time scale, this tourney might have just recieved a deathblow. Oh well, it will give me more time to get paint on everything.

I wouldn't worry about the splinters in the splinter camo. At that scale they would be so small you would never see them. I think what's more important for the Fallschirmjager camo is the hard edges and sharp, straight lines, as opposed to the rounded edges and "blobs" of color on regular Late War Normandy camo.

The splinters are just way too small to paint. I've never seen it successfully done, but then again I haven't seen a lot of examples, either.
