Eureka! 15mm Multi Cam Code Cracked (and even if not, I've had it!)

I have gotten my multi cam brushwork to an "acceptable" point for my collection.

"What might that be?" you ask?

Well, my goal was that if one was to look at these guys, you're first thought would be "they are obviously US troops probably serving in a combat zone."  I think each time I painted them, it got a little better but I think I've figured out the secret to getting small soldiers to look like they're wearing multi-cam - bascially layering very, very small khaki squiggles "atop" of the dark brown squiggles.  

While on the actual uniform, the squiggles, both black and light tank, are offset slightly, to get the same effect on 15mm troopers, they have to be layered or the viewer (or fellow gamer) loses the effect.

 So the first batch of pictures you can see the layering of the brighter khaki "squiggles" over the dark brown "squiggles."  The effect is instantly noticeable:

by layering, it also brings out the background colors more

 Here was the second batch.  Not bad.  Colors were good but the khaki wasn't necessarily layered over the dark brown.  They look okay, but it almost looks like DPM on some of them, and not Multi Cam.

The addition of some blobs and dots helps, but no cigar.

 And the original.  This guy has all the legitimate colors, as defined by multiple blogs I was able to glean.  But the colors are not arranged in any way that would make you think you were looking at Multi Cam.  He could be wearing woodland camo for all the gamer knows.

So that's it.  For my Multi Cam I use the following colors:

GW Deathworld Forest as a base.

Folk Art Ivy Green or VJ Luftwaffe Green blobs

AB brown oxide blobs near the green blobs

VJ German Camo dark brown thin squiggles.

AP Khaki thinner squiggles and lines atop the dark brown thin squiggles
