Here's an example of a 5/6 oak pattern on my parka.

Looks pretty good to me Thumbs Up [tup]

There were so many different color version patterns for the SS smocks and helmet covers. I have one which is of the 5/6 oak pattern that has black blotches in the cloth that I than model my figures on. I have seen smocks with purple and violet colors, looks odd as all blazes, until one re-enactment battle I was in, a person wearing one popped up from the brush 10 feet from me and I did't see him at all.

Well, I saw the finished Dio in another thread.  You can ignore my comment about the bright green blob, because I didn't see it there.  Must be the old eyes or the cheap color monitor.

 Nice work.

sharp!  Only thing I'd point out is I'd look at the arm and cuff on the right side.  There are a couple of bright bright green spots that seem to be linking up to form a bit of a blob.  Could be camera angle or lighting, don't know.

Did you go at the dots with a brush or a tooth pick??

I prefer the lightest green to be less tan than you have it, but it may just be preference. There  should be less difference between the light and medium greens, but I think the pattern itself is accurate and very well balanced.

For every modeling technique that works, I have three that don't.

Stikpusher, I just stared at this photo for about twenty minutes:

 

I base painted Vallejo mix of Khaki Grey and English Uniform, painted in Chocolate Brown, came back with Olive Green in and around brown, spots in / around that with German Camo Bright Green, lightened that with white and stippled spots. It's kinda bright, but my stuff always ends up dark somehow. I figured I'd over-compensate the brightness.

Thanks for looking, guys.
