15mm Sci Fi - GZG ESU Black Bear Power Armor

 This past weekend I attempted to complete two projects simultaneously (GZG ESU and finishing off my GZG NI troops).  That did not work out so well.  I did manage to paint up my whole ESU Naval Infantry Platoon, however I was not happy with the paint scheme so they were dropped into my strip tank for a redux.  One thing at a time I guess.  

However, did manage to complete the power armor section of the platoon: the Black Bear Powered Assault Armor.   

GZG ESU Black Bear Power Armor

The scheme was simple: a Russian Taiga scheme that I saw years ago somewhere (two shades of green with grey and white dots, in groups of 3).  I did not use white, going with a single dot in an off white grey.  

• Vallejo Grey Primer (matte)
• Vallejo 71.126 IDF/IAF Green Basecoat, airbrushed
• Vallejo 71.018 Black Green Camo spots
• Vallejo 71.249 Sea Grey weapons
• Vallejo 71.032 Gun Metal for hands
• Tamiya Clear Red for the laser sight on the left shoulder.
• Vallejo 71.257 Black for the visor
• Washed in Minwax Polyshades Tudor
• Vallejo 71.103 Grey for camo spots, post shade.

The scheme was very easy to complete (just a lot of dots to do really).  I am planning on using this same scheme on the ESU fabric uniforms.  This will be interesting since I will be working on a much smaller surface area.  My micro painting skills will be put to the test for sure.
