In preparing for the painting contest I finally found a good technique to paint these detailed models. It took a while because due to the size and level of detail it really requires a lot of skill but I finally found a good technique for even an average painter that will make your guys pop on the battlefield.
I will do a "Super-highlight" tutorial demonstration as soon as I get my last mini done for the competition. The aim for the tutorial is to develop techniques to attack the raised areas of the model with light colored paint and to attack the shadows with dark paint to really make your details pop out effectively.

Painting Oak Leaf A Quick & Easy Method by Jaume Ortiz This is a small tutorial on how to paint WWII German "Oak Leaf" camouflage in five easy steps. We're not trying to depict a perfect rendition of this kind of camo. The real pattern used 5 different shades of color and we'll only be using 3 of them. The goal is only to show a fast and easy way to replicate this pattern. I'll demonstrate using Alpine Miniatures' figure #35037 with a Hornet head, where I've sculpted the side eagle and Totenkopf badge to convert the figure into an SS soldier. Step 1 First of all, we finish the head and choose the right base color (Brown Violet) for the camo, through observation of pictures of real camo clothing. In this case, we'll mixed Chocolate Brown VC-872, Old Rose VC-944, and Black VC-950 in an approximate ratio of 6:3:1. Step 2 Here, we must outline every seam on the jacket with German Camo Black Brown VC-822. This helps the painter to see where the pattern will be interrupted by a seam. Step 3 Next, we begin painting the orange shapes. This process is accomplished by building every shape with small dots to give them the characteristic look of the "Oak Leaf" pattern. The color is a mix of Orange Brown VC-981 and Chocolate Brown VC-872 in a proportion of 7:3. Step 4 Now, it's time to outline every orange shape with our darker color (German Camo Black Brown VC-822) and then to add dots of this color over the orange shapes and over the Brown Violet background. It's important to have good references as guides to show how this outlining has to be done and where to put the dots. Step 5 Once the painting of the camo is finished, we start applying controlled washes with Chocolate Brown VC-872 to tone down the camo colors and yield an overall worn appearance. Then, apply some more washes in Black VC-950 to shade the folds, and further washes of Black oil color for the darkest shadows. Step 6 Finally, highlight the Orange Brown and Violet Brown, adding a bit of Sunny Skintone VC-845 to the mixes. TimeLines Forum: www.timelinesforum.com/index.php?page=oakleaf1

The best German camo painting patterns Ive seen are from Battlefront for Flames of War bases. Its simple, straightforward and only a true grognard is going to complain about the granularity of the camo.
