Much better from what I can! @tipperaryred has some good info for painting in there.

I got some work done at an armor party yesterday, here are some updates! Boots still need a major overhaul but everything else is getting a nice, subtle wash of light green after many passes.

I think I'll do another round of green wash and then try a suit-up to check in on how it's looking all together. Thanks for the support guys!

Oh nice! The chest/back is really popping! @RAIDER & @tipperaryred check this out!

Good to see you at it still!  I still think what @tipperaryred mentioned early of this being more of a “wash” is the best description of it. I’m not sure it is quite there yet.  Look at this shoulder/bicep as an example:

Notice how the darker areas are almost more like “shadows” as opposed to texturing and distinct/noticeable differences between the shades…they just kinda flow (that’s where I see airbrushing as a better option). But if that’s not available for you, where Tipp’s suggestion of making a wash that’s more wiped on than sponged could work.

Yes, there are occasional strong bits of weathering but those look more like scratches and gouges, not really the camo (which is more like shading IMO).

That's absolutely a lot closer, great work.  The shoulder piece that David picked out above is a particularly nice reference point, and I'd agree with David's point that the smooth gradients between colours are still going to be tricky to get spot on without an airbrush.  However I think your torso armour is the closest you've gotten to a solid match so far, so maybe tweak that a little further and come back to us?  If you can then replicate that on the other armour parts you'll be most of the way there.  Great to see the progress 🔥
