Scouts

So I've been working on my scouts of late and I hit a bit of a brick wall on the first one. Real simple solution but not so easy to accomplish. Simply put I need new paints. Namely its the gray I have been using.

Alright so starting from the beginning, I like to paint my models while I assemble them. To me it gives them a better quality job as I can get to those places normally hard for me. Well I decided I wanted my Scout's camo-cloaks to be of some sort of urban camouflage. I started the Games Workshop's page on painting Imperial guard with different camouflage however ended up botching it just a bit and going on with my own pattern.


However the base color of gray I used is extremely uncooperative. It is not a Citadel paint, instead being some other European company's and seems like it was meant for Fighter and Ship models instead. Never the less I got decent results but it consisted of me having to do two coats of that paint before I could do the other colors over it.

Either way I still have more scouts to paint and this one to finish but I'm stalling till I can find a replacement paint, preferably from Citadel, to replace it. Got some pictures for you too!
