Thanks for your ideas guys. I guess I could try both methods and see which one I like best. I'll let you know how I get on.

Many thanks,

Darren.

I prefer to do it just the opposite. Paint the hole figure a base color of either black or green (depending on camo pattern) first. Then I paint the tiger stripe colors in thin lines. Works for me.

Hey there, Darren.

Ive done quite a number, and the first paint I apply is the yellow/white stripes (depending on the kind of tiger stripes). I then apply the black paint in stripes so as to demarcate the areas. After that I apply the green and brown paint over the demarcated yellow/white areas, leaving streaks of yellow/white along the way. (I hope Im making some sense so far). That way, you dont have to apply the lightest colors in very narrow and difficult streaks on the camo. This could be quite a pain especially in 54mm.

Hope this helps.

Anybody ever done tiger-stripe camo patterns before? I've got the 1/35 LRRP figure set from Dragon for a dio I'm doing and I wondered if anyone had any hints on the best way to do it.

Thanks,
