Yes, all of Iraq is not a desert like alot of people think. I saw snow when I was there. It gets really cold and rainy in the winter. If you need anymore pics, give me a hollar and I'll see what I can dig up.

Little advice and if not mistaken, one of the 'features' of krylon (afaik the most used camo paint) is that it has a matte or not reflection surface, so when looking at your first attempt i would suggest to tune down the specular maps...

OFFT:
Nice to see you got yourself a BAS2 sign monty. Keep it safe...

EDIT: overlooked that second camo pic, that one looks much better. For some good realistic paint jobs, check out the PSD kit that SASR Sabre made. Hm, i think he edited his upload link as it doesn't show anymore in SJBs topic. If needed, PM me and i can host it for you (if SASR Sabre still wants it public availible). But bussy atm, won't have time untill tonight.

Hi, texture or retexture in CS kind of textures is much more easy
than do it in the current ArmA kind of textures. Was much more easy
do my M4's for the OFP than do the same for the ArmA, overall because
we haven't a 3D tool where check how the texture progresses; so
is not that easy to do now for the ArmA, also the different sizes of
the weapons parts putted all together in the same texture, this makes
that do any kind of pattern over the weapons be much more hard
than with the CS kind of textures, texture "my" M4's pack was very
easy, and add effects, lights, shadows, patterns etc etc. But good
there, those 1St M4's look good, the 2Nd ones... ain't like that too
orange/brown tone, but they still look good. Let's C ya

yeah i was also thinking the same thing, although i have to idea how to reduce the specular/bump maps ):

-Three Colors in the camo
-Edited the wearing of the paint
-Darkened the metal
-Magazines are now black instead of gray

-Silencer and Aimpoint have small edits as well
