Painting Guide: Galen's German Camouflage

Germany was the first country to actively develop and supply their troops with camouflage. If I'm not mistaken the modern German Army still uses a derivative of the Rauchtarnmuster camouflage. I didn't include the Erbsenmuster pattern because I have yet to be satisfied with the result I have achieved. I also chose to not include the Liebermuster pattern because of it's limited issue. The pattern images are included to provide reference for painting.
