"Its not the workbench that makes the model, it is the modeler at the workbench."
Have a look at this discussion. You will see some good examples of SEA camo there.

Thanks all for repling
Off to the workbench to give all a go and see which one I'm best at
Thanks again very much appreciated

If you leave a space between the mask and the surface you'll get the soft edge effect. I use fish line on the bottom of the mask (taped in place) to act as a spacer. This is an old school technique that really works well.
