Hello,

I search the colors for painting Multicam Camo. I prefer Vallejo Colors.

Any suggestions?


Kind reggards.

I'm working on a bust in MTP (Britain's version of the Crye multicam) - I can't guarantee the colours are accurate but if you want my colour mix list.
It's a WIP but it gives you idea of what I'm aiming for.

Hello,

your painting locking great. Can you give me the color numbers and how you mix them?

Sorry for the delay in replying.
Here goes:
Base coat with a mix of of Pale Sand (007) and US field drab (142) and pure US field drab (142). Have the two colours gradually blend into one another. When dry add some more US Field drab but this time keeping the lines distinct in the multicam pattern.
Same again with the greens - I used WW2 Russian infantry green (094) and mixed a yellowish green. Have the two greens blend together in parts and also have some distinct lines with just the Russian green.
Then add black mixed in with a little russian green.
Sorry if this is a little hard to follow. I'll do a SBS when I get the chance.
Finally add pale sand lines and dots.

I also try to multicam colors, some new addition to the above data? thanks

I've been swamped recently -and I forgot about this. I@ll try to put some more info up this weekend.
Cheers

I've done some 1/35 figures in multicam, it comes up alright. For that, I used the following colours, as taken from this site:

http://www.militarymorons.com/gear/crye1.html
MultiCam is comprised of six colours, (note that I'm using names that I'm most familiar with to describe the colours and that may not be entirely accurate)- a dark chocolate brown, a medium/flat earth brown, MJK khaki/green, medium green, desert pink, and a light grey (the base fabric natural colour). What makes it difficult to describe (and see) is that some of these colours are gradiated and fade into each other in some places. Another feature of MultiCam is that is does not consist of a uniformly tight pattern that repeats itself freqently. The medium shades of colour alternate in a larger pattern, so that an area will change from a predominantly green hue to a brownish one a yard down. The small blotches of grey and dark brown will sometimes cluster in one area, then be absent in another. This combination of tight pattern and larger, 'seasonal change' enables MultiCam to work both close up and from a distance away. The large changes of overall tone break up one the silhouette of the larger form while the smaller patterns blend it with the immediate environment. Crye coined the term 'macroflage' for the way the distribution of large areas of colour works.

hope this works for you, too.

Kylie

Here is a very rough guide to how I did my MTP pattern.
1) 2 shades of brown -blended.
2) 2 shades of green - blended and put in camo pattern.
3) Add off white.
4)Add black.
Obviously at each stage you will need to add highlights and shadows of each colour mix. The hardest part is getting the correct camo pattern -ignore my sketch and use a decent image from the net. This is simply a breakdown of the pattern.
Hope this helps and look forward to seeing how other people tackle this.
