the equipment- Reapers Master series Terran Khaki
the Rifle and spade handle- Vallejo's beige brown
shoes- formula P3 bootstrap leather
bayonet- formulaP3 pig iron
base- Model Master mud
flesh- is my own mix of Howard hues/Regal ruddy flesh and Vallejo's flat flesh
Thank you for the nice compliments :-D

Nice work on these figs. Are you finding that 15mm figs are a lot quicker to paint? Just wondering...

That depends on the time period and the uniform as to how long it takes me to paint. the more colors that are required the longer it takes me to do. as far as quicker in 15mm as opposed to 1/72nd, again the same thing as stated above, with the addition that more details now can be put on the newer sets of plastic nowadays as opposed to old sets. This is a long way of saying that it took me as long to paint 60 of these US infantry in 15mm as it did to paint 36 of the 1/72nd.
