This is a neat camouflage pattern and the technique gives a worn appearance to the model. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the comment and glad you liked the tutorial 😀
CZcams needs more Camo Specs videos and so do I. I really enjoy watching these, and learning painting tricks. Maybe sometime you can paint some basic infantry?
Hopefully we can keep up with more regular content during the holiday season and I'll consider the infantry tutorial as I come up with more topics to cover.

This looks super easy.
This got me some amazing results, needed a snow biome company. Not only for alpine but also some hot pink and neon blue Canopus lunar mercs.
That's great to hear, glad you found the tutorial helpful!
Wow, that looks fantastic. I prefer the look with more white myself. Definitely going to try this out. Thanks!
So many small ways to tailor it to your liking is what makes this such a great method. Glad you like the tutorial!
I really like the results you've both achieved. These techniques produce the look I prefer. I'll have to try priming in white (or, maybe light grey) and black washing, again. Haven't done it in decades, since I found it easier to prime with black, and work from deeper/darker, to outer/lighter. Thanks for the demo. The mechs look excellent.
Great to hear, and hopefully the tutorial helps you out.
I paint all my mechs in camo. If I do House colors, then the model is kind of locked in when it comes to scenarios. With camo, it's a freelancer. Painting in camo also feels more creative.
It's a great way to keep your options open and play what you want.
I use basically the same process for my merc unit! Will definitely try drybrushing after adding the camo next time.
Great work as always!
I hope the small change helps your minis look all the better! Thanks for the compliment!
Absolutely love this. I need to try it out!
Great stuff. I'll have to give this a shot for Tundra Galaxy for Rasalhague Dominion
This looks fun I might paint up the new alpha strike box with this one
Great to hear!
That marauder is nice 👌
Thank you!
Your tutorials are truly top notch! ❤️
Thanks so much!
Keep it coming sirs. Always great content!
Will do thank you!
I liked the look before drybrushing more than after. Would skip the drybrushing for this method.
Great, you have an even quicker way to get to a result you enjoy! New or weathered is a personal preference and I honestly like both. Cheers!
That Mech Warrior 2 Color Scheme though.
Inspiration comes from great sources!
@@CamoSpecsOnline Seyla!
I'd like to request a merc 'mech paint job video. Newly subbed and coming from the BattleTech PC game where player is a mercenary team trying to stay one step ahead of its creditors. As I understand the BT lore, there are basically no new bright, shiny 'mechs being built as the expertise, tech, and industrial capacity have been essentially lost.
Based on those game mechanics, mercenary 'mechs are ad hoc - armor - and arms and legs - frequently get blasted off and have to be replaced while travelling between jobs with salvage or whatever can be bought. I figure that 'Mechs in a merc lance are going to look like a shade-tree mechanic's car: functional, but not uniform in paint scheme, dirty, greasy, blackened areas on the armor from jump jets, and slug and missile launchers.
Any uniform color or logo, identifying the merc group would be on a small area that a technician would just slap on real quick and the paint would still be wet as the 'mech dropped to earn that next paycheck. I'd like to see a paint job like that, please...
❤👍🏻
Did you get a new microphone? Your voice sounds MUCH better in this video than the last one I watched. Love your content, btw :) Keep it coming! You ever think of painting something like Astra Militarum mechs from 40k? (not that I don't love Battletech!)
Not sure what the last video you watched was, but if it was the last recent video on cockpit painting, then that was a different artists tutorial. Glad to hear you enjoy the channel and if you go to the video description you'll find camospecs artist's links to instagram pages. Mine is hotelhobbyist.
Came here to say FIRST. Another great video!
Congrats! Thank you!

I love to match camo schemes for my mechs based on the cultural background of the house or inner sphere state. For the clans, I tend to do something similar with some touches of the clans primary colors on arms legs, and so forth. Never been a big fan of house or clan specific colors or camo schemes.
Fantastic work - love the end result :) What is the round makeup brush you use?
Just a cheap set I bought on Amazon. And store with a makeup section will have a variety of them. This one is a bit more firm than most.
Do you have other winter camo videos? I like this one, but couldn't find any searching for winter camo.
Unfortunately no, this is the only winter related tutorial.
Could you use a sponge instead of "stipling brush" to get the stripes?
You absolutely could. It may be difficult to get the sponge into some tight areas but you can also use a combination of brush and sponge to get the same results.
Could this technique be an alternative way of doing the GDL camo scheme?
Any color and shading wash/contrast could be used so the combinations are really endless.
Gotta try this out some point in the future, it looks like it's a lot of fun!
But I've got a question regarding decals... I used some for the first time and I am now a little afraid they might slip off at some point in the future, is there a way to make them adhere better? Also the shape of mechs sometimes makes it hard to place a decal, you might end up with a recessed line underneath the decal, what is the most convenient way to deal with that?
Place the decal and then cut it with a sharp knife or something?
This will probably answer your questions: czcams.com/video/yWxNSIooIF4/video.html
@@CamoSpecsOnline Thanks a thousand times!
I now kinda feel like a Philistine for not checking if there's a video on CamoSpecs for that topic lol
Do we prime with white?
White helps you skip a step if you get complete coverage but I still suggest a quick basecoat of white over the primer to make sure you have a smooth and even base to work from.
Your secretary needs to get you some new brushes. :)
Haha 😄 I have plenty, but not to abuse on a process like this. 😅
