"If you are willing to provide pictures of excellent German figure models that you have done, please PM me?"

Well, I don't know if my figures could be labeled as "excellent", but anyway I sent you a PM.

The annotated drawings will be really helpful, fantastic stuff

I am trying to build the full pattern repeats for WW2 camouflage patterns by making collages of pieces cut from photos of Zeltbahns and garments.
This is Italian Telo Mimetico which was used by the Germans in 1943 and thereafter. I was quite surprised to find Italy hidden in the pattern.

Oh! You're right!

There are some brown patches on the right that loosely resemble Italy.

I am sure it was a joke by the designer

Sorry Mick, but I've just dropped out your picture of the Luftwaffe smock, as it has a swastika on it. If you can blur that out, please feel free to put an edited picture back up. Check out the symbol use rules for why we can't show swastikas on the forum.

Cheers

Richard

Dear Richard,

I am very sorry. I had not noticed the Swastika. I will blank it out and repost the image tonight.

Mick

On Wednesday, I went to Sinsheim Technical Museum for research.
I actually took 234 photographs of uniforms and vehicles.

Many shades were within the range of colours called Field Grey. There are some garments which are
  German Dark Green 70.979
  German Field Grey WW2 70.831
  US Dark Green 70.893
  Russian Uniform 70.924
  German Uniform 70.920
