Pretty decent website - lots of scanned pics of real-world camo,
organized
mostly by country.

Also, check your local library for "Brassey's Book of Camoflauge",
Brassey's 1996. (ISBN 1857531647) It's got some great colour plates of
camo historical & present. Of course, the copy I *finally* got through
interlibrary loan had had some goon go through it with a razor - a third
of the plates & several pages were missing!

People like that should be executed. Publicly. Messily. (Pardon me -
just
a pet peeve. I work for the local public library...)

Oh, and if you're looking for something to really, really inspire your
modelling, point your browser to <http://www.ghillie.com>. Very cool!

Finally, take a good look at the cover of SG2. The PA there has a very
cool camo scheme - very nice painting.

Hope these help,
