The colors are pretty close for US woodland camo but the pattern needs some tweaking.

Before doing pattern on a figure, I practice it on sheet stock to get the shapes right. When I'm happy with the practice style, I move onto the figure.
Anothrt thing to remember is that the individula pieces of cloth are preprinted with the pattern and won't necessarily match at the seams. Note how the pattern ends abruptly in a straight line at the left sleeve of the shirt.

Considering this is your first attempt, I think it looks freakin' awesome. Especially considering that this figure is all of about 2 inches high (assuming it's 1/35). Really, nice work.

Al makes some excellent points about practicing on scrap stock; I find that to be extremely helpful. The sample shirt he provided shows the pattern to be more swirly than 'dots', but I would imagine that would be much more difficult to achieve at scale. Also, some dry-brushing and of course facial details and any added equipment will help to blend the whole thing too. Show us more!
