Help with camouflage

[Jeff]

I am painting some Colonial Marines form Aliens. I have never painted camo before. I am happy with the armor but even though I think that I did a pretty good job with the pants when I go to shadeing and highlighting them they turn too muddy as you can see in the photo. What should I do?

Hio Jeff I'm no expert so I'll direct you towards some articles on Camo painting on ML and Armorama that may help
