I'll be doing an AR winter camo in the next few weeks. Looking for pics, inspiration, etc. I'm gonna do it either way and post pics, so any good looking white ARs out there?


Done.

Fear me ruskies.

I did one once but ended up re-doing it. Sorry no picture of what it was. I had done it white with just black "branches" to break it up, but it was pretty limited as to where it was effective. Even with a good covering of snow, when sitting next to a brush pile or some cedar trees, it seemed to stick out even more than black. I changed it to more of a light tan/sand color with brown and black highlights. Much better all around! Now fits in well with snow, light snow cover and patchy dead grass, or western prairie.

Thanks for the info.

I'm thinking about doing the undercoat as patches of grey/blue, and brown/tan, then doing the laundry bag and doing a light white overspray.

"Over the laundry bag"?  I don't get it?

PS  I like how it looks.  I'd want a darker grey color for "urban".

^ Sprayed the topcoat through a mesh laundry bag to achieve the final pattern.
