I need help with painting modern camo uniforms on 1/87 figures. I'm trying to recreate a uniform you see in the attached photo. So far, my efforts have been dismal failures. Any tips or direction would be greartly appreciated.
Oops. Greatly appreciated... Really, GREATLY.
Here is a painting guide:

In 1/35 it is pretty easy. For 1/87, I don't know how easy it would be. I would suggest really small brushes.

I've found that the tip of a toothpick works pretty well, since you can do really tiny amounts of paint. Plus a steady hand and some magnification....

Thanks, HeavyArty. That's what I was looking for. I've seen similar uniforms in 1/72, which really isn't that far off from 1/87, and assumed I could achieve reasonable results without a guide. Yeah, that didn't work out....
gregbale-- Toothpicks are a good idea! I also have some micro-sized dental swabs that are about toothpick size, but with a tiny bit of foam at the tip, so I can try those too.
