1/285 (6MM) WWII
———————
My selections are largely based on the excellent Farnworth Guides, but there are exceptions. Most colors are Vallejo. All figures are given a sepia/black ink wash at some point. Highlighting at this scale is typically done by simply adding a small amount of white or yellow.
A nice guide to painting splinter pattern camouflage by Elhiem Figures…
