Painting camels

[DaveL]

Hi guys.

Got some 10mm camels to paint for my Ancient Persian army and just wondered if anyone out there could give me some advice on colours and paints to use.

Thanks a lot.

Best wishes     DaveL

Buff and tan, light brown wash, highlight with buff or very light brown. Camels tend to be darker on their midline along their back as astripe...

Thanks Lemmy.  It's always bet to ask someone who knows what they're doing!!

Best Wishes  DaveL

Let's get one thing straight - camels do not paint! A bit of wallpapering, maybe....
