More Marines

Well I rewatched the Pacific now with my 1080p 50" plasma tv.
So that ment I got into painting my marines again, this is a small side project, I only need about 40 marines and 40-60 Japs(disclamer, I call them japs as it's propper ternonamigly for the period, I do not call japanese people japs in other sicunstances)

Now I had planed on doing all my marines in kaki, but it seems there was no standard for this, even Pacific shows random asortment of kaki and sage/faded olive uniforms even as late a Peleliu. For the green uniforms I used faded olive, with light brown ink to dirty it up.
I also did the web gear with a mix of propper olive drab and dark kaki, even a mix with in the same figure, mabye a olive belt and ammo pouches and kaki canteen cover ect.
Some marines got kaki shirts and green trousers ect. To make a real rag tag vetran marine look.
