Studies in Camouflage - Oak tree (Spring)

A few more figs crossing the painting table, this time with a Spring Oak Tree pattern.  I took these from Artizan Design's painting guide and used colors from the Flames of War SS paint set.  In this case a base of Pale Brown with German Dark Green and Light Green to form the pattern of 'continents and islands' 

This pattern is more correct for the time period I am using (Summer - Fall of 1944), but is not as visually interesting as the Plane Tree pattern I have been working on.  I am also painting a few with the fall pattern, but I am still not happy with how the Orange-Brown looks at this scale.

 My goal is to complete one Platoon of Panzergrenadiers for Chain of Command with enough extra figs to substitute out 1 MG42/squad to do a standard foot platoon, and to field a spotter, sniper, mortar teams, FO, tank hunters and perhaps some Pioneers.  I am maintaining the consistency of the colors for the non-camouflage components to help pull the entire group together.  This project is somewhat similar to my ACW collection in that you have the unified appearance of one side (Union/US Paratroopers) counter-balanced by the the more chaotic color patterns for the other side (Confederates/Germans)

I should probably some in Peadot for the later time period, however, I am going to go with looks over historical accuracy on this one.  They are my toy soldiers after all, and I will play with them as I see fit.
