The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: USCM camo Pattern
PostPosted: Thu Dec 09, 2021 4:54 am 

Country: Canada
I am a hobby tactical gear maker and I'm looking to have my next project be a modern plate carrier in USCM.

I am in the process of making USCM armour camo pattern. I have been looking at the examples on here and what I can find online. From what I can tell there is no #1 example.

My take on it. I have swapped out the Humbrol colours for real world camo pallet. I have used M81 Woodland as the base with (Camo Green 483, Coyote Brown 498, Black, Brown, and light grey)

from what i have some up with is there any suggestions to refine this pattern or is there a tutorial/example that I am not aware of ?( I did search first)

let me know what you think

the pattern is meant to scale to the size of the armour.
I found this one I like and have biased a design off of it, still playing around

the colours for coyote brown do not match 100%, but its close enough for me to work with.

well this rig sold quickly. Im going to make another one and pair it with this hoodie I had made for airsoft.

just need to add velcro to the arms for patches. not screen accurate but its my take on multi-cam

multi-cam vs multicam

Going through the process of doing the USCM uniform.
I know with the armour there was color codes do such a thing exist for the uniform?

I am using a custom ERDL pattern as the base and trying to match it to chefs creations pics I found online.
its not a 100% match pattern wise but its my own take on it.

My plan is to have this made into a hoodie.
