Quote from: John Cook on 29 August 2022, 12:32:53 PMOnly done it with British DPM in 54mm but I layered it just as the original material was.  Paint the figures in dark sand first, then apply the green followed by chocolate brown and finally the black.  On a 10mm figure I think you will have to go for an impression rather than trying to copy it exactly.
Thank you. Definitely need some test paints.
