kammo-man Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share #1004 Posted October 7, 2014 These pots held 10 gallons and were mixed color matching over a test process that took 3 days to get a dead on match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share #1005 Posted October 7, 2014 The screens get put onto large rollers and once the monster starts it's hard to stop. Fingers crossed Here we go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share #1009 Posted October 7, 2014 Close. This process took several times to get it right. Micro adjustments were made and then it was perfect. This process is how all Cammo is printed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share #1010 Posted October 7, 2014 The sleeve of a unissued KZ made 44 dot tunic and the new HB cloth FURY dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share #1011 Posted October 7, 2014 End result showing the same tunic in full. The arms were copied not the body. Tunic has different dye lots as typically happens. That's how we made the print ..... But that's just a small piece of the story. owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrenchfootJoe66 Posted October 7, 2014 Share #1012 Posted October 7, 2014 So were you making short runs just for movie props or is this the start of something a bit bigger ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doinworkinvans Posted October 7, 2014 Share #1014 Posted October 7, 2014 I will shoot myself in the heAd then. Why do you capitalize some of your "A's"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted October 7, 2014 Share #1015 Posted October 7, 2014 O great pics of the printing process of the camo material...just fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted October 7, 2014 Share #1016 Posted October 7, 2014 Why do you capitalize some of your "A's"? Probably a typo thing.The A is close to the shift key. I will catch my self doing a large H after the T often.like TH in the word The.Fat finger symtom as I type and hit a second letter before releasing the shift key. also with some of the new smart phones auto correct or typing is a cause with the smaller buttons.I have some pretty bizzare phrases if I text.

stonewaller Posted October 7, 2014 Share #1020 Posted October 7, 2014 Speaking of the Welsh, I wonder if anyone got pics of the fight in the middle of the tank laager between Jonno and Shia L-B over the mess tin of beans? Hopefully it will be in the deleted scenes on the DVD Glen! I'll never forget after witnessing that, a few days later an extra came up to me and we got chatting. A short while later, he says to me, "did you hear about that other extra that got in a fist fight with Shia? He got filled in by the cast and escorted off set". My reply was "oh, that's just jonno!"

kammo-man Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share #1022 Posted October 7, 2014 Mike, That's funny ! But check this out. After the war this dot fabric was reprinted on the reverse side and used as civilian patterned cloth for the home. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. This cloth is in the lovel collection.
