I was looking for a different camo pattern for a build and found a really neat snakeskin pattern in the pics thread. It’s largely FDE, brown and black. My area always has some green in it.

I was thinking of doing the snakeskin pattern with a few splashes of green using the pine needle method, not much, just enough to help it blend with the green in this area and break up the darker colors and pattern.

Anyone ever mix these two patterns?

I have done both, was very satisfied with the pine straw(cedar straw in East Texas)


fishnet, I used "orange" bags, not the color, the fruit..and an onion bag, both worked OK, wasn't overly impressed with the outcome.

I’ve had good success with the pine straw method. You ever do a slight pine straw overlay with the mesh pattern?

I did
The mesh sort of disappeared. Sorry no pictures. Sold all the painted ones.

That makes sense. I’ve did some test runs on cardboard with the mesh pattern. I’m not convinced it’s going to as effective as the pine straw method when it comes to blending in.
