Infantry Painting Guide

Painting infantry can sometimes be a little daunting, here Aaron shares his advice on how to quickly paint up British infantry to get them on the table as fast as possible.

Not bad and may I say VERY close to the real thing. I hope you don't mind if I add a few things. Before you ask I was in the British army at this time for 18 years so I do have a little insight.
If you you don't want to paint the face and hands just remember we worn cam cream at this time. So green and brown faces and maybe black hands as we had very good black gloves.
The yellow you used was a bit to yellow but in 15 mm it will make it stand out better.

did you do the trick wear you don't put any cam cream near your forehead where your headdress meets skin to prevent it melting/mixing with sweat? some of the figures have their helmets way back on the heads with a good chunk of forehead exposed and I don't know if the current cam cream tricks were around/used back then?
also, were wooden slrs phased out in baor by the early 80s?

@@AE-wv8jd Like you say, no need to put cam cream on your forehead as you would have your skid lid on. As for wooden stocks or butts for the SLR yes there were some still around, most had gone to the black plastic.
