When I found this picture online I immediately loved the camo pattern and colour.

I had no idea how difficult it was going to be to recreate it because of the colour matching and to a lesser extent the camo pattern style. 95 versions later this is where I'm at. I might make some more tweaks in the future. There are no stripes as I'm not sure that I like them and they are a major under taking which would take a lot of effort because of the number of cutlines that would need to be crossed. I might tackle them if I get bored or run out of things that I would rather do like cleaning the toilet for instance :o:. I have no idea if this is a skin, a colored photo or a genuine photo. I have found no other references to it.

For those concerned about RLM colours above all else - this is how I go about it. First I sample the picture colours and then using ICDP's colour chart find the nearest RLM matches. This then is the palette I go on to use. Because of the many, usually over a hundred, layers involved the colours change in tone. This is realistic as in the real world overspray, dirt and weathering also change the original flat colour. In this case the main colors I used where RLM 61,81 and 76a. Enjoy :bye:

As I use the skin and find anything 'annoying' or 'could be better' I'll tidy it up and post updates below with version number.

Really nice. If you feel inclined along the way a version without numbers would be handy for a lot of people since the Me410 is enabled for tactical codes.

I am no longer working with a template at this stage but I have done my best to paint out the number hope that helps.
