So I have tried a couple ways to create the camo pattern and have not been happy with any of them. Part of the issue is I’m not managing to make the right colour tones and part due to my painting skill.

@marsniper27 – Over half my moderns are 20mm in Desert (US Army, Marine Corps, Iraq / Afghanistan) – Yes, you are totally right, at scales that small it’s all about “faking” it.
