Hell of a job for your first man, well done! Like a few others said, camo's tricky. When doing a camo like this, which to me looks sorta looks like "woodland", try to use four colors. Green, tan, brown, and black, in that order. Also try painting the shapes more horizontally to break up the vertical silhouette of the figure. Having the colors running somewhat horizontally is good but still make the shapes somewhat random looking. The best thing is to look at a desired camo pattern for reference, and take your time. Sorry to write so much, I just wish I would of had some help when I first tried to paint camo. Again, looks good, love the concept!

i think its the lighting in your shots that are making the camo too subtle try using lamp light and a plain black or white backdrop and they will pop better it looks great i wouldnt change it

What paint did you use, I know on my first Battletech minis and early stuff the paint was all globby.
For your first custom the paint looks nice and smooth. |

I like it, but I think this custom looks more like a GIJOE than a COBRA now because of the color.
