For my campaign I'm getting ready to paint a BTR-70 captured by 5ID and utilized by the PC's as part of the 256 BDE for Escape from Kalisz. I'm not a very good painter but I'm trying to find a way to make it not only make it look nice and beat up but also flying a large flag with "LSU" in purple and yellow on one side and a New Orleans Saints gold Fleur de lis on a black background on the other. Not only to show pride in their home state but also as a way of IFF. I will post the disastrous results when complete.

Hey Ancestor, thank you. I think you are right that she's the Texas Tank Girl.
What scale are you doing your BTR-70? I do a lot of my vehicles with spray paint you can get at the big-box stores, and Krylon make several camouflage colors like Olive Drab. Whichever color you choose, do a smooth spray-coat, drybrush with lighter tones to show wear, and add your Louisiana Pride banner.
There are a lot of great painting videos on youtube, for example I learned how to do washes watching the Beasts of War paint 40K minis.
