Fieldcraft Multi zone rifle camo

[gugubica]

There was a thread here a couple of weeks ago asking about using leaves for a camo job. I finally got around to taking some pics and thought I would share to give an option.

I used leaves as stencils, but went with more traditional colors. I thought about using some orangey color to mimic leaves better, but this worked out. I think it does a better job of blending with different areas. Just the bed of leaves is not the greatest, but I was afraid that if I matched just that, it would not blend well with other stuff.

Even though there is no gray in it, it works really well with the Oak trees that are EVERYWHERE here, as well as dirt, rock, etc. Well, anyway, here it is. Leaf and grass stencils. Krylon Tan, Brown and OD.

Looks good. It has a bit of the old Rhodesian flair to it.

Tan base. Then brown around leaf stencils. Then olive drab through reeds for the vertical grass effect.

All Krylon Fusion camo.

Re: Multi zone rifle camo

this is nice but my paintaholic addiction has been drifting progressively further from the traditional "camo" colors and i think youd be well served to include a few female stenciled yellow brown and orange leaf shapes over a base like what you have then i find a light dusting of barely there tan to naturalize the look and tone down any excessive vibrancy of color issues. it should really be an overall turd color at a distance.

Very Nice. It gets me reinspired as I took apart my DPMS AR 15 to paint it over 6 months ago and it is still there naked, well a white base coat anyway. I plan to do a winter cammo effect. I will post pics when done.
