My base color for my mammoths is NATO Brown, ironic considering so many frozen mammoths were found in Siberia.
They get primer painted then each side gets a spray of NATO.
Paint one side, wait to dry, paint the other side, then stand them up and paint the top. Then a careful inspection and paint any missing bits.
Mammoth shadow. Seems like there should be a use for that. Maybe a cave drawing.
I use Tamiya Color spray for these, it's expensive, but worth it.
There, nice mammoths all even and smooth.
