My first attempt at painting a mid war Afrika Korps infantry squad. The Germans transitioned from using green uniforms to sand uniforms during the war but units often used whatever they had, so I like a mix of both. The green on sand looks really sharp.

1. Prime with Desert Yellow Make sure to do it in a box if it is windy
2. Paint the base with Americana Espresso, its okay if it is watery
3. Drybrush base with Desert Yellow
4. Paint the ring around the base Mahogany Brown
5. Drybrush with Desert Yellow mixed with a little bit of White Although you probably could use Desert Yellow Use just a little bit to hightlight the very tips
6. Basecoat the jackets with Russian Uniform WWII
7. Paint rifles, canteens, entrenching tools, with Mahogany Brown
8. Paint bed rolls with either Russian Uniform WWII or Khaki depending on the color of the jacket.
9. Paint the shoes a 50/50 mix of Black Grey and Mahogany Brown
10. Paint rifle barrels and metal Uniform Grey
11. Paint googles and straps on hats/helmets with Mahogany Brown
12. Paint the gas mask canister Black Grey
13. Paint the faces Barbarian Flesh
14. Paint the satchel, rifle string, and straps German Camouflage Beige WWII
15. Ink wash the sand colored uniform with Soft Tone
16. Ink wash the rest of the model (Except the base) with Dark Tone Be careful to not apply too much especially on the face
17. Highlight the green jackets with the original color you used, Russian Uniform WWII and then German Camouflage Beige WWII
18. Highlight the sand uniforms with the original color Desert Yellow and then Desert Yellow . I might have also done a final highlight with 50/50 white/ :Vallejo/DesertYellow
19. Highlight the gun and metal with Sky Grey as well as the shoes
20. Lightly highlight any straps and the rifle, the canteen, and any pouches that are brown with US Field Drab
21. Highlight the satchel and bedroll with US Field Drab
22. Admire your handiwork
23. Chip the helmets with a small sponge or foam using Black Grey
24. Apply decals
