I spray painted the vehicles dark green. Then I took a piece of cardboard
(from the back of a writing pad) and cut wavey slits about 2mm wide and 10cm
long. Each slit was about 5mm apart. It depended on the size of the vehicle.
You could make them closer together for small figures.

I then placed the card on to a line of vehicles and sprayed down the slits.
I did the spraying quite close abot 5-10 cm away from the card.
The slower you spray down the line the more bold the stripes get.

You do need very contrasting colours if you do this. Just trying to do the
stripes with a lighter shade didn't work to well. If you have a bolder colour
you don't have to spray it on thick and so can keep some model detail.

Does that description make sense?

Okay, I've pained* my 15mm panzergrenadiers a gray which by pure coincidence
is just about the same shade as primer gray. I'll put some green and white
stripes on, then wash with black, and we'll see how it works. The trick is
going to be applying this technique to my 6mm Islamics, but Real Soon Now,
no doubt, Jon will have 15mm Islamics available....  :-)
