Had the most unusual weather at yesterday's airsoft game. It was windy and cold, it rained, it was sunny, it snowed and then hail poured down. Having a thin parka when it got chilly was a blessing. It wasn't quite the season for greenzone but it did alright. Love this camo
Some type of lizard variant? Perhaps from an African country? Closest I could find is 60s South Vietnamese Brush Stroke but it certainly doesn't look like 60s to me
No tags or stamps whatsoever, it also got black buttons unlike ones I have seen on commercial pieces
I found it on Facebook and I'm not sure what kind of camouflage it is because I've never seen it before.
I just came here to say that UCP is a great camo and it blends well in mountain regions.
Supposedly Vietnam-Era, anyone seen these before?
Some of my recent finds. Uruguayan army uniform, cookie camo top, and a NWU 1 medical scrub top.
Looking to get a holster made with the Irish dpm and can’t find any pictures worth using for a holster, any help would be great. And yes I tried AI it just makes its own shit up
I found someone selling this shirt in a second hand selling website. The description says it's from the Bosnian war but I can't find anything other than the camo (looks a bit like croatian to me) to point in that direction. The type of buttons is different from the type that the Croatian army field shirts from that time mostly have. I don't have any more pictures so I can't say if there's any type of identification like patches or something of the like. Can anyone help? What do you guys think? Thanks.

ONLY READ IF YOU ARE A CAMO AUTIST!!!
OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE BORED TO DEATH!!!
I took a good evenly lit Belgian Jigsaw picture and recoloured it. I tried making a woodland summer pattern that could also work in early spring and early autumn, covering most of the year. Without being too tan to not work during full-green summer but also not totally absent of tan (like M84 and the alike) so it still works when some of the grass dies from the dryness on hot episodes in summer.
I live in Germany btw. A part with beech and oak, no pine.
Just recolouring the green parts to green was not green enough. Since the brown parts of the pattern took up more space than the green ones, I reset everything and recoloured the brown parts to green. Still not green enough. So I ended up just kind of freestyle recolouring green and yellow blotches to green and I ended up with a nicely asymmetrical distribution of colours.
I then recoloured the yellow parts to tan and the brown parts to a less reddish brown. The pattern undoubtedly looked cartoonish. I thought of the way dead leaves look on my nature walks and instantly knew what was off. The tan needed variety. So I made some tan blotches darker and some lighter so it looked like real dead fallen leaves. Much better.
Then I realised the pattern was not disruptive enough and seemed very 2D. So I added more black lines in the style of the WW2 German "Leibermuster" which I consider to be the most disruptive pattern to exist. Those wavy lines with those spikes sticking out were drawn by me. It made the pattern drastically more disruptive and made it look a bit less 2D.
Still too 2D looking, it would stick out from close-up, even if it colour-blended perfectly. The big perfectly solid blotches look so incredibly unnatural. So I tried using a texture brush in my program to add some texture and roughen things up.
What I realised is, what would really help would be this kind of micro-pixel thing that EMR has got going on. EMR has these tiny pixels that are scattered all over the pattern in an asymmetrical fashion that gives the pattern a texture, has a bit of a confusing effect, adds depth and makes it look far less 2d and the rough edges of the pixels have a good eye-irritating effect too in my opinion.
I am not glazing EMR, I am just outlining the good aspects of the pixel micro pattern texture.
So next up I will definitely get a pixel-art software and start creating digital patterns. My inspirations will be the Flecktarn families, Belgian Jigsaw, Leibermuster, US4CES, SS Oakleaf/Leto/Medusa, Phantomleaf Wasp I series
I wonder how many camo autists are in this sub
my dad bought this surplus in the mid-late 80's in high school before he went into the Marines, and i wanna find out the origin of this uniform so i can tell him.
i got it in some random Thai market for a good price and wondered if it was real or a replica.
the label says “K 76”
u/Leading_Bag_3101 maybe you can help too?
