Re: SS - GUNNER...Italian Camo #1 (Mar/28)...
Hi all!
...something about the Italian Camo...
...widespread use of Italian camouflage material by Germany coincided with the disarmament of the Italian forces in 1943;the 1.SS-Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler took part in that operation,and together with 12.SS-Pz-Div.Hitlerjugend are the most noticiable users of Italian camouflage in wartime photos...so,after Italy capitulated,the Germans had access to their camouflage material.It was used to make jackets,trousers,hats,shelter quartersItalian camouflage was very common with SS trops.
The following pictures ilustrate some examples...
...now the parka used on my figure...I´ll use this pattern as base for my job...
...follow the mixing ratios of the paints ( Vallejo acrylics)that will be used :
-Base colour(Green)
#890 : one
#830 : two
#896 : one
-Brown
#984 : three
#912 : one
-Sand Yellow
#824 : two
#830 : one
#847 : one
...the following picture shows my attempt of this squeme applied on a piece of card paper...
...hope to do a good job!...it will be start tomorrow...

Re: SS - GUNNER...Italian Camo #2 (Mar/29)...
Beautiful Luiz. These simpler camo patterns are almost harder to do than let's say, pea dot pattern, because you have
to get the shapes exactly right. Especially the Italian camo. I would say you nailed it perfectly!
I also like how you are painting the sleeve separately, so the pattern doesn't match up to the rest of the coat.
