Hi,

For my TW forces, I wanted to try out ATACS camo.

Has anyone an idea how to get this style painted "the right" way?

cheers

I've never painted that kind of camo BUT IMO I'd try to paint it with very diluted paints. The camo is very blurry and 'not focused' so I think it has a chance of success. Of course you have to match the colours. Just paint the base colour and then do the smudges. I'd do that that way.

Cheers
Thomas

A friend of mine has a way of painting modern camo with "blister sponges".

Look here for his own description:

Interesting and simple technique, and quite effective as doing the job. Thanks for sharing

Hi,

I tried to use paints very diluted. Effect was ... well ... disturbing. Didn't work for the first time. I am still on it ;-D
