However, I'd like to try my hand at painting camouflage patterns and give my 15mm troops urban or forest camouflage uniforms. Help would be appreciated; if there is an online tutorial about doing this, I'll be grateful if someone would point me to it

My personal methods are as follows, for jungle/greenery camo I start with a dark matt green, and I paint stripes of tan, beige, black and sometimes a lighter green, just make sure that the srtipes are not all in the same direction, have a few overlapping, generally try to make them look less uniform. For desert camo, I start with a tan or light brown and dab dark grey, dark brown and a touch (very very little) black, use spots for desert. For urban camo I start with a dark grey and use irregular block shapes of black, white and light grey, again try to keep them from being too uniform, but be usre to have sharp edges to the shapes, unlike the others that need irregular edges. Well thats how I do it.
