Continuing this post on painting german camo paterns here is an attempt at pea dot. Unfortunately I had a mishap with the camera and after taking about 50 photos I realized I did'nt have a memory card in so photos will start from a late point. Will try again soon if any body is interested.
I am using mainly Vallego colours.
Base colour as per pictures at start of post I mixed ger. camo pale brown 825 and camo med brown 826. 3:1 mix. some shading and highlights also using these colours.
Pea dot is not just made up of small dots. There are also larger random patches of dark green, pinky beige and medium green.
The first patches applied were the dark green, Vallego extra dark green 70896 and black. This is almost black. 2:1 mix.
Next, the beige patches. I came up with a mix of sunny skin tone 70845,salmon pink 70835 and khaki grey 70880, 3:4:1 mix.
Next, medium green patches, reflective green 70890. Not so many patches of this colour.
Next start adding the dots. The dots will be made up of of the base colour, dark green, pinky beige mixes above and additionally a light green mix. The light green mix is sunny skin tone 70845 and camouflage bright green 70833, (no medium green dots). Here I can start the photos again thanks to having a memory card re-installed.
At this stge I have added the dots of base colour and dark green.
Next stage add dots of pinky beige mix and the pale green.
Add some shade in the recesses around collar, and seams. Just a well thinned dark brown mix.
Thats it for the camo.
Some pictures of progress towards finish below.
Almost done. Need to add headset and some additional shading and highlighting and he will be finished.
If all that paint mixing sounds like too much hassle, try these colours,again vallego.
Base, 70 873 field drab

Light beige camo, german camo beige 70821
