... thats some Soviet Afghan coloring

! Little darker maybe (or contrast), but not bad at all ... need to make some BTR-80s and BMS-1s for that texture promo.

In such ligh textures, the terrain complexity makes the difference :

... many small rocks, many shadows ... some half-dry flora would later whyte biomes finish that impression ...
(dont mind the persons, just cant find any that time photo whyte such nice angle)
