Did the Brits switch to a digital pattern or are they still using the DPM? The DPM looks perfect for brush painting.

Austin, This is some outstanding info. Thank you very much for taking the time to not only describe your technique but also take photos. Much appreciated. Andy

Townsy, If you've ever seen the DPM in person, it actually looks like it has been brushed on. The salt technique here would not give that effect.

This technique looks like it would work for German Flecktarn and other small dot type camo patterns. If only there were some modern Canadian figures available though, then I could try CADPAT out on them.
My real name is Cam.
Interest: anything 1/72, right now mostly sci-fi and modern
In progress:
1/72 Sci-fi diorama (link in my web)
1/72 Leopard 2A5
1/72 APC Conversion to a MEGA DESTROYER

Okay, so I want to continue trying to get this right. I started off this time by using DML's Modern US Marines's legs, because I had them sitting there spare. I sanded off the pockets and scratched my own from a two part epoxy putty. I sprayed my base coat (I am using the grey/green as the base coat), more pics to come. Again, I don't have access to the real ACU, so any comments are gladly welcome. Thanks and take care, Austin

Here I go (again...) How do you think they look? Personally, I think there could be a titch more tan in there. I used the Tamiya's Deck Tan, MM acrylic's RAF interior green, and the grey-green is a mix. Take care, Austin

Looks great to me, the pockets and styrene on the torse came out great too, nice sculpting job.

Looks good to me too. The pocket flaps should not have dimples for buttons though. The pockets secure with velcro and are smooth on the exterior.
