Nice color shots, but you need to know which scheme belongs where.

Thanks Gabriel. They almost look like bowties. LOL I'm afraid I don't have much to share other than my Panther in my sig and some pictures of my Sturmtiger. It's in a thread called "My humble Sturmtiger". Not good quality pictures.

Tigerman: I paint my Hetzer with triangles because I saw a picture of a 1/16 model in the internet and I love the scheme, but here's some pictures for you.

Do you have any pictures of your models you can show us? please!

For the ambush scheme, I used a #5 spotter brush with thinned down paint and just dabbed. There are many different ambush schemes. I for one have never seen a picture of the triangular leaf type used on a real tank. If anyone has one, I'd be interested.

This is an example of a splinter camo.

Is this what you are referring to?

If so it is the ambush scheme as crockett mentioned. This one is hard edged and the leaves were applied using a trimmed down toothpick. I cut aout 1/4 of the taper off and then ust touched the toothpick to the paint. if there was a ball of paint on the toothpick i used a paper towel to wick some off and then used the it like a stamper.
If you want a soft edged scheme use an airbrush set real fine.

I think you are referring to "ambush" schemes and thier variations. I can only tell you what I do, it may not be the best method, but it is pretty easy. Go ahead with the three tone pattern as usual, Red brown , Dark yellow, and Green. Then, just make a small set of templates with your splinters, dots leaves or what ever, lay over the base coat and spray with the contrasting color. If tigerman responds to this post, take a look at the Panther in his signature.

Panther splinter camo?
Posted by lolok on Sunday, October 31, 2004 9:38 AM
Any good idea for replicating the woodland type splinter camo on a 1/25th Academy Panther.You know what kind I mean,looks like leaves all over the main camo colors.Is it just a case of cutting 500 tiny pieces of tamiya masking tape!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance,
Jim.
