What camo scheme would you like to see next? Part 3 will see how I tackle Italian camo 🤭

The quite unique blueish usmc uniform in the pacific would be nice. I did it some years ago using some Humbrols but now they are really hard to find. I really would like to see your choice of colours. BTW Amazing videos!

Nice job on the camouflage, fellow!

@@paintingpanzers It most certainly will. There's a new range of 28mm Arnhem British Paras due out next month, that look superb. However, in the mean time I thought I'd have a go at some of the Germans, so 9th Hohenstaufen it is, in all their Pea Dot glory, with an added Stug lll. So I'll probably be watching this several times...

@@MonkeyBoyDrinksVat69 between you and I, I might know of those models and I may be uploading a video on them within the next few weeks ... you'll have to wait and see :P Your project sounds awesome though, would love to see what you come up with! Arnhem scenarios are some of my absolute favourite. If you need anymore information on the processes I use to achieve my Peadot pattern, don't hesitate to reach out.

Considering how small the model is you did a great job, maybe try a toothpick for the dots & save your brush tip? Panzer Lehr Division was the only unit that I'm aware of that used this camo pattern. This elite unit was formed from veterans who participated in the fighting on the Eastern Front, North Africa, and Sicily and was outfitted with the latest equipment of the German war production. Formed late in the war, they took part in some of the heaviest fighting in France in 1944 until their eventual surrender in April 1945 within Germany.

Thank you kindly mate! I think the toothpick idea is a great one but a tad tricky to get right at this scale. This camo scheme was used a lot by members of the SS too. Or are you talking about Wehrmacht specific units? :)

@@paintingpanzers Panzer Lehr Division was an elite Wehrmacht unit & all the references them I have seen them wear the pea dot 44 patterns on the folder over style of jacket that Panzer crews had. I personally have not seen any SS reference with this pattern, but I'm sure they must be out there. Either way, it is a cool-looking camo.

​@@paintingpanzerscut a brush in a point...my wife learned me that! Just a thin small brush you can finetunen yourself..the first time my dots where to big..i did it with a hair of a housebroom

Pea Dot's were used during operation Market Garden, aswell in 1945, i believe. However, they weren't issued in large quantities, though. And i believe that only the SS wore them.

As for “pea dot”, as my grandfather also called it, I have found through research a 1943 dot uniform as well as a darker 1944 dot. Your techniques and attention to detail are inspirational.

Well it has to be said all the main WW2 repro uniform companies produce a pea dot winter parka, including the higher end businesses in the market. They also state on the items page that it was a rare but legitimate item. And of course you shouldn't necessarily take a repro companies word to be historically correct. But to be fair they did all cease production on pea dot helmet covers and beige (SPR) M41 jackets when it became apparent they were complete fantasy items. 🙄 😆 Anyhow really enjoying your videos and tutorials. You've got the approach to scale camo and uniform painting totally nailed mate. Plus I'm always partial to a bit of 1/7nd on't the net.

Wonderful done. 👍 I could be wrong but I think I read that these brownish/yellowish camo uniforms were originally made by the italians but never issued to italian troops. When Germany occupied Itlaly in 1943 these uniforms fell into german hands and given to SS-troops.

Nothing to do with Italy or the very different Italian mimetico. This pattern was developed in Germany for the SS. It wasnt used as universally as other camo patterns. No helmet covers, smocks or zeltbahn were issued in pea dot for example.
