Hello

I recently bought and finished the Legends ODA Warrant officer and Weapons sergeant. I didn't think I would be able to paint UCP convincingly, so I chose to portray them as wearing DCUs and plain vests/chest rigs. I painted the base colours with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics, and the weathering was done with oils, acrylics and AK washes.





Unfortunately, the photos make them seem somewhat washed out, but the colours are actually more distinct in reality.

Comments welcome

Here are some better shots taken with some better lighting. The colours appear to be more true to life now.

Nice job on the figures. DCUs are fine. As you can see ODA members can wear what they wish. It may be the lighting - I can't tell, but the SF equipment should be a coyote color. Humbrol Khaki Drill is a very good match for it. Kinda miffed you didn't go with the 18Bravo figure...

Thanks Rob, I think it is the lighting, the colour I mixed is pretty close to a slightly faded coyote brown.

Also, don't worry, I am also painting the 18 Bravo figure!

Good man. Don't forget the good luck necklace.

The three figures are done! Heres a preview, and there are a few more shots a the link below.

Let me know what you think, or if you want any more information about them.

Very nice! Where did you buy the ODA figures from?

Hey Peter

These guys are the Legends ODA figures which I picked up from Sockelshop.de, a modelshop in Germany
