Nice. They look as if they'll have a nice presence on the table. How large of a force are you painting up?

Look good to me.

You could add the black IR squares to the shoulders.

Never seen green M4 mags... Most gun add-ons are black or tan in Afghanistan. Rarely green if ever.

I have loads of USMC pics on my WIP thread here...

But you need to be a member of my forum to see it.

Nope. More Multicam.

If it is supposed to be multicam... you need to add some color to it.

It is very tan at the moment and looks like a solid base for chocolate chip style camouflage.

You should check out my how to for painting ACU. It would work here and all you would have to do is change the colors around to match Multicam.

The only thing is these are Afgan style marines, so i'm going for the more 'desert' style of cammo like below.
