US Army gets new pattern uniform.

[commissarmoody]

Stop painting your UCP and ACU uniforms for modern and near future US army. Seems uncle same is going for a not Cyre Multi-cam...Multi-cam. 
In a cost saving measure they are making the exact same thing that is not the exact same thing because it doesn't have as many vertical splotches of color.
Oh and apparently it was a design that was rejected in favor of ACU back in 2002. 
So after a billion dolor's wasted we bring you. Scorpion pattern!  (name to be changed)

I absolutely hate that damned pattern when it comes to painting it on figs.

Not yet figured it out.

I was in the Army and Navy Surplus store the other day.  I asked where their camouflage jackets were and they admitted that, yes, they were that good.......

Coat still by the door?

the classics never die Joroas.

And yep going to be a pain in the butt. I am thinking starting with a light brown base and going from there.

Try Vallejo 'Japanese Tank Crew' as your base. If you want more pinky tones add a dab of Flesh Base.

Interesting article(s). Thanks for sharing.

Bit of a case of plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Pretty Much Carlos.

They're very 80s to my view. I still am a fan of CADPAT when it comes to camo
