For my whole build I'm trying to use supplies that I already have. So far I've had most of what I needed and spent very little. I looked through my paints and found some colors that are close to the real ones.
For the green I'm using Federal Standard 34094 which is US od green. Pretty much any od paint will also work. I thinned the paint 50/50 with windshield washer fluid and airbrushed the base coat.
The rest of the paints are Apple Barrel brand which is available from Walmart for $1 a bottle. English Ivy Green is very close to od. I used Jet Black, but any black would also work. I used Brown Oxide, but again any dark brown would work. I tried a few different tans and found that Lite Mocha was the closet, but it should be a little darker. Granite Grey looks pretty close.
Using a picture of Wiezbowski's I painted on a piece of cardboard. I didn't try to make it exact, just the general look of it. I used a small brush to mark the outlines. Then used a larger brush to fill in. I added a few drop of water to the paint on a pallet to thin it out slightly. Except for the black all the paints took 2 coats to fully cover.
