how to custom camo germans(pics)

Post by flyboy_fx » Sat Nov 29, 2008 5:16 pm

HEY EVERY ONE :D
I thought I would tell you all something I do.
Ever thought about painting german camo but didn't have the paint or know how, well this is what i do. It works best with dragon figures.

I call it paper camo just take print out some camo and glue it on,like this.
Here is where I get some 1/18 german camo, just print it out from this site, and do this.

And if don right it looks great, but if you mess up just wash and scrub it all off cause all it is,is elmers glue (white glue) and paper.
Good luck :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :D :D

Terrific idea. Never thought that paper would adhere to the plastic and stay on.
