How have people painted their armoured infantry?

Here are mine. I left the Helmets bronze in good steam punk / Victorian SciFi manner even though they should probably be painted to not reflect. The uniform is dark grey to suggest a rubberized suit.  |

Wow nice look both of you. I've been tusseling with the paints scheme, particularly as I've got Nemos Nightmares who really Are in diving suits and SAS/Hazmat suited figures for British Assault Infantry - so I'm still thinking on it. I feel a pewter color for the metal bits, not so sure on the actual suit types. I'm also looking for figures from the movie Dune - I'd think the Sarku and Emperor troops had a very 'armored sealed suit' look. Finding them in 15mm or 18mm is probably a pipe dream. I never noticed how much bigger those rifles are btw - really nice.

They do look good, but I am keen to use more traditional military-style colours. Still, I am envious of your skills  Craig |

These are my attempt. I wanted them to blend in with my regular infantry and my tanks so they all share the same colours. I wanted the eyes and the guns to stand out.   |

It looks to me like bilko991's and Washburn's guys are more like a military unit. Shiny bronze helmets are kinda hard to hide. Bright things attract the eye, followed by enemy fire.
However, that said, bronze would weather to dull gray-green (see any old bronze statue) color called verdigris. So, Mother Nature camouflages them automatically.
