Mine's Spataflage, although I was advised to 'weather' it a bit, as it does rather stand out in flash pics.

Try hobby/art shops; if nothing else, a Games Workshop store (or anything that deals with wagames/gaming figures).

ah ok. walked past a games shop that does gamesworkshop stuff 2day too if only i knew then.

You could just spray a couple of coats of matt varnish over the weathering, like I did, which dulls it down perfectly.

May as well post this in here, as it's about Spat armour.

Here's my final 'look', ready for the NSC, posed for at my sister's place tonight:



Recent additions/mods:

Nick's webbing+belt.
Mike's pins on webbing.
Popgun on webbing.
One M40 grenade (more on order) on webbing.
Matt Noble's mag base on PR.
TK VP70 in drop leg holster.
Pouch from drop leg holster on left hip (digicam should fit in it nicely).
Faded BDUs.
Slightly weathered armour.

My sister helped with the armour side buckles, but as I didn't have access to a decent mirror, it looks like I still needed a bit of alignment with the chest section.

Me is a happy chappy though.

Looking good there Steve, if i get time i'm going to dirty down my armour , BDU's are on order (coming from HK) plus a rubber knife and a holster.....oh yes got to get a pair of boots....

I have some Mig Pigments you can use for the armour, which I can bring on Saturday.

BTW, I found a big enough case for my armour today:

Model shop guy, my boots cost me £12 delivered, took 48 hours to arrive. Let me know if you'd like the companies details.


Regarding painted armour; my personal opinion is that the Spatoflage, as nice as it is, just doesn't quite cut it when viewed next to marines with their armour painted up with the correct screen accurate paints, brushed in camo patterns and not sprayed (sorry Spat!!! )

If you intend to simply display it or wear it whilst out solo then it's fine, but if you're with other marines Spatoflage just looks too different. Just my opinion though!! I hope I've not upset anyone...

Nah, not upset me.

TBH, I've seen numerous painted camos and they all look different, so (IMHO) Spat's is just another different one.
