I did my first batch of 15mm troops in camo basically this way; green
base
coat, brown heavy drybrush, then picked out weapons, boots, and some kit
in solid colours. They look pretty good, I think. I left the brown
deliberately blotchy.

See: http://wind.prohosting.com/~warbard/sg2gallery.html

for some pics, including a couple of quite close-up shots. (Topmost set
of
photos) I've also done but never photographed some 6mm troops this way,
including a squadron/platoon of horse cav! (Actually ww2 Poles, but done
with tan/green camo)

I've just finished and taken pics of my first 25mm figures, a batch of
civilian types to clutter up FMA games. I get the picks back Friday, and
I
might get them scanned next week sometime, with luck. I've also got 16
of
the very cool UNSC 25mm troopers on the table right now; they're going
to
be done in "Martian Flecktarn"...
