An attempt at brits in Temperate combat dress.
« on: May 18, 2013, 05:17:54 PM »
Greetings gentlemen.

If anyone has seen my modern brits there camo hasn't be turning out right and is more of the uniform worn in northern ireland. Well i'v had another go and this is the finished result.



Would like to know what you guys think.

The photo isn't that good and the gloss throws off the image.  Are you going for MTP or older DPM?

Well I did some british DPM (and there are only two DPM, Desert and non-desert, there was no special uniform for Northern Ireland). I started with the english uniform (Vallejo) as a base. Then added russian green (Vallejo) for the green, I tried to pain it in horizontal lines. Brown was Hull brown or flat brown (always valeljo), then I added black and put some higlight with Khaki on the English Uniform area. I think your main error was to have put too much green, while it is scale-reasonable, it will simply ruin your effect. Leave more Egnlish uniform area exposed, and pain the camouflage lines smaller, now they looks more like blotches than lines and thus disrupt the DPM appearance.

My two pennies of course.
