Tallarn Desert Raiders
Progress so far
It feels a little like painting by numbers...
I started this project a couple of weeks ago now, and between work & family life I haven’t had much time to work on this lot, but I’m still quite pleased with the progress I’ve made thus far!
In the last post I’d just started painting the shemaghs, I got these done as you can see below.
The next stage was to do the green, Now, I set myself back a bit here because I did about 20 of them then realised that I didn’t like the colour much at all.
I started with a mix of intermediate green & flat green (vallejo) and while I like the colour it produced, I don’t like it on my tallarns!
So, back to the drawing board (or more precisely, the paint rack) where I picked up “Reflective Green” which I liked a lot more.
The original Green (that I decided didn't work) 
The new green I do like! So I’ve picked a green I like, Reflective green by Vallejo, and applied it to the lasguns, as well as grenades, water bottles and part of the knife, then the trousers too.
these guys are actually starting to look like they’ve been painted!
