Insect Touch Mars Pattern Uniform Test

DeathGuard

Mongoose
For those not familiar with Insect Touch, it was a 3 part comic book mini-series released shortly before the release of the film. It shows the first contact between a recon element from Mars colony and bugs on Big K. Its takes place some 20-30 odd years before the events in the film and it shows how young rasczak loses his arm.

Anyways i figured the camo would be a great alternative and a universe appropriate scheme for LAMI. To give you an idea of what the uniforms look like here are some pics from the comics

You may notice the uniforms are slightly different then the ones i nthe film mainly due to the time gap but the artists were kind of enough to provide a drawing of film troopers with the scheme.

So without further ado my first test model. Its not super detailed just simple shading no hightlights mainly because i have 59 more to do and not much time so this works. I have not based it yet the grey s just from grey primer i used.

If you are interested i can post a painting guide and if your interested in the comic itself send me a PM.
 
Please put your painting guide up. I have 55 guys spray painted in Khaki and this is the route I'd like to go with them. There may of course be some variation, but your pretty much painted what I was going to do. Only I was not planning on camo for the clothes until I saw you post.
