Battle of Najaf, Iraq (1 Viewer)

A couple months ago I purchased three modern Marines made by Forces of Valor. These figures are from their series Soldiers of Steel. They were inexpensive and I decided to repaint them in the three color desert camouflage uniform worn by the Marines in Iraq in 2003 in 2004. I made a small base depicting the Marines fighting the Madhi army in the Najaf cemetery (https://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/08/10/iraq.main/index.html)
I am pleased with the base, but not to happy about the Marines. Specifically, I had a hard time matching the grey-green color on their desert camouflage uniforms.
