G'day guys, will be a getting a modern Navy Seal bust and would like to portray the bust in Late US Woodland Camo. I did a brief search and have come up with AK-Interactive Vietnam era set:

As you can see its to light for my liking and was wondering if anyone has done this Camo before? If so can you please list the paints used .^


Kind regards, Brad.

Without having painted this before, and assuming you need a recipe for Vallejo acrylics, I'd suggest:

Tan parts: German comouflage beige 821, perhaps with a hint of green added
Brown: English uniform brown 921 + touch of black
Black: Black + touch of 821 or 921
Green: Not sure, perhaps 833.

Hope this is of use.

The colors faded pretty quickly, too. You might want to take that into account, in your final color choices.

Prost!
Brad

Fading by adding a bit of 821 to every mix....

There were a couple of different variants of this pattern that appeared in the latter stages of the war in Vietnam. Some of them had a distinctive lime green cast to the lighter green sections of the pattern. I recommend that you do a little research online and look at color photos of them.
