There are some models you are inventive on, designing your own schemes and so on, and others where the models are so classic / well-sculpted that it's a joy to paint them inside the stereotype - here the muddy, natural tones that blend with the mud.

I was quite chuffed with the painting, but as a few people have picked up on the OSL doesn't stand up to close scrutiny, although it looks okay on the tabletop.
