the marine uni's are different from what we are getting issued. The pocket placement and such are not identical. If I had some to post up I would. But the bristle idea may work.

How about the Marines, who already have a digitized camo pattern? Anyone have a method to paint that already? The only thing I can think of would be to dab the end of a worn-out brush on the figure, and try to make digital spots with the ends of the bristles.......

I will tell you that the new bdu looks nothing like those pictured above. We are all supposed to be equipped with the new digital bdu by this summer. I wonder if the model makers will keep up with the change?

Look in the center of the page at the top for a link that says military photos. There are some great photo references on this page.

Here is a photo of them, basically it is a random pattern, the back looks the same as the front.

The IBA (Intercepter Body Armor) is currently available in Woodland, 3-color desert camo, and the USMC still uses a dark sand color overall.

Here is an articel on how to paint them that has some photos of the actual DCUs that might help too.
