Used Vallejo military green as a base coat, I'm experimenting with using 2Thin Coats "ranger cloak" as a highlight, but I'm wondering if it's too light. Can anyone recommend a highlight color/shade, or should I keep going down this path?

Middle is military green, bottom is "ranger cloak" for reference

Add a bit of lemon yellow to your base green

Voting also for a yellow ish accent. Maybe using ivory at some point, or a yellow ochre to desaturate a bit?

Looks good what do you think? You can add some white for a smaller highlight on top too

I would go with an ivory dry brush.

Don’t think this is too light.

Edge highlights bordering on yellow and panellineing

Progress so far. Need to touch up a few bits. Anything else y'all think to improve the paint job?
