The name is used by a German synthpop band, a Japanese idol group based in Nagoya whose name is officially styled as "CAMOUFLAGE", and a Swedish new wave band (later named Tapirerna).

German: The German synthpop trio Camouflage was officially formed in 1984 by vocalist Marcus Meyn and keyboardists/programmers Heiko Maile and Oliver Kreyssig. The group took first place in a radio-sponsored song contest in 1986, and before long, their debut single, "The Great Commandment," was scaling the German charts. Their full-length debut, Voices and Images, was released in 1988, reflecting the group's classic new wave synth-pop influences, but most of all Depeche Mode. 1989's Methods of Silence began to broaden Camouflage's sonic palette, yet the Depeche Mode sound still remained at the forefront. Oliver Kreyssig then left the group, leaving Maile and Meyn as a duo augmented by several studio musicians. By the time of 1991's Meanwhile, Camouflage had garnered a not insignificant following on college radio; the album moved still farther away from synthpop and incorporated greater instrumentation. However, with the advent of grunge, synthpop lost a great deal of its footing on college radio; Camouflage soon found itself without an American record deal. 1993's Bodega Bohemia, available only as an import, moved back towards synth-oriented music and took a darker tone than much of their previous work. The mostly instrumental Spice Crackers followed in 1995, after which the future of the band was cast into doubt; a best-of compilation, We Stroke the Flames, was released in Germany in 1997.
They released their comeback "Sensor" in 2003; "Relocated" in 2006.

CAMOUFLAGE is a Japanese idol group from Nagoya. They debuted at an event in October of 2012. Member Takasaki Shouko plays guitar during their live performances, and she is also well-known for her gravure work. CAMOUFLAGE sold out their first solo concert in the space of two days. Their first single "KIMOCHI Choukousoku" was released on the 3rd of March 2013, which was produced in a limited edition of 300 copies. There are currently seven CAMOUFLAGE members: Tatematsu Asu, Sakura Mone, Shiina Azusa, Takasaki Shouko, Yamashita Moe, Kamiya Runa, and Sanjou Katsuki. Three other members were once part of the group, but have since graduated: Itou Erika, Yashino Sakura, and Kawai Miori.
Aside from music activity, the members of CAMOUFLAGE are involved in various local entertainment: they have appeared in TV dramas, variety shows (including their own regularly-scheduled internet show, BILLY CAM(e)), and they also regularly host radio programs.

Swedish: Camouflage was a new wave / goth band from Gothenburg, Sweden. They released three albums in the eighties. The first one was "Camouflage" which came in 1985. Their second album was "En Förtjusande Vän" in 1986. The third was called "La La La" in 1988.
After their third album they changed their name to Tapirerna because of the German band with same name.

Figurer
Camouflage Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Den vackraste sången om kärleken
Faller över kanten och in i din famn
Jag kolliderar
Med ännu ett intryck

Vad ska vi någonsin göra i ett ökenland
När vi sagt allting vi kunde säga varann
Jag kolliderar

Med ännu ett intryck

Figurerna stannar alltid kvar
Figurerna vi gör
Bekläder mitt skinn

Den mörkaste tanken om kärleken
Balanserar tillsammans med det bästa vi har
Det finns alltid något
Som vi kan göra

Täck mitt ansikte med röda löv
In på bara skinnet har jag höstens färg
Det finns alltid något
Som vi kan göra

Figurerna stannar alltid kvar...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Camouflage's song "Figurer" express the complicated feelings and experiences that come with love. The song's opening lines translate to "The most beautiful song about love / Falls over the edge and into your arms / I collide / With yet another impression." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which revolves around the singer's struggle with reconciling the highs and lows of a romantic relationship.

The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Figurerna stannar alltid kvar" ("The figures always remain"), highlights the idea that the memories and emotions attached to love never truly fade away, but remain a part of a person's being. The lyrics also touch on the idea of finding hope and beauty in the midst of darker emotions, as seen in the lines "The darkest thought about love / Balances together with the best we have / There is always something / That we can do."

Overall, "Figurer" is a poignant and introspective look at the complexities of love and how it shapes us as individuals.

Amazing work as always. Looking forward to the leather tutorial as well. Do you usually paint the leather equipment first like you did here. Its a really great idea. I really like how you keep your paint pallet so simple. So many other great figure painters mixed multiple different colors to make one shade of paint.

@jaumeortiz4767

3y↑1

Hi Shawn!...yes, in this case I painted leather first. It helps to identify the camouflage zones better. I try always to keep my pallet simple, specially when painting camouflage. Vallejo has a wide range of colors suitable for every part of your figure, and they are mixed already, so, no need to make complicated mixes for painting.

@selcukodabasi1309

Harika video,teşekkürler,thank you so much👏👌👏👌

@ieatoutoften872

I like this video because what I am seeing in this video covers some of the paints / colors and techniques that would be used to paint Pea Dot camouflage (for Warlord Games - Bolt Action - Panzer Grenadiers - autumn 1944 / winter 1944 - 1945), even though this video appears to be about some other type of camouflage (Plantermuster - 1943?).
It seams like the Waffen SS wore a different camouflage patterns / colors for every year of the war: they re-used colors to some extent.

@vallejocolors

This camo pattern had two different variations: spring and autumn :)

@ieatoutoften872

I am replying to my own comment with spelling corrections, German to English translations, a date correction, and a Wikipedia reference that lists most (maybe all) of the German camouflage patterns with colored photos.
---
Platanenmuster is the German concatenation of the words "Plane Tree pattern" which was mostly used from 1937–1942.
Erbsenmuster is the German concatenation of the words "Pea Dot pattern" which was mostly used from 1944–1945 (I think as early as May 1944 to the end of the war on 8 May 1945.)
See the following link for other types of camouflage that the Waffen SS might have worn. And sometimes they would "mix and match" camouflage pieces: trousers, tunics, ponchos, and helmut covers.

What size brush do you use to line pockets, gear etc...and what size brush were you using to create the "dots"

Fantastic work. I just want to ask one question. Like the spring and summer camouflage pattern painting in the video, do you use the brown and black wash for the autumn and winter plane tree camo? I have a dark green, dark brown and black vallejo wash thanks for the nice 1/35 video. b^오^b

@jaumeortiz4767

3y↑1

Hi!. Yes!, I use the same wash colors for autumn version

@timothyhines7845

Nice.
One Question not specifically related to this fella, but I play a German army in Bolt Action.
Where can I find some reference photos for the Puma? All I can find are b&w photos. Which are great for the load out add ons but not for a good came pattern/colors if any.

@christianmarquardt2382

Hi Jaume! Which brush are you using?
Great Work!

@jaumeortiz4767

Hi Christian! I used a DaVinci Maestro num 0

you normally dont use blending technic on the patches and basecoat to eliminate the border between basecoat and highlights when painting camo?

Great tutorial! Thanks Did you use a drying retarder on the paints on your pallet? Else, I would expect them to dry out while you worked...

@vallejocolors

Hello RRL4245! Each artist paints in very different conditions so you must add retarders or thinner in case you need it (warmer temperatures or low humidity - summer). If this happens, you can add a drop of Medium Retarder to the colors :)

Theres supposed to be two shades of green on that camo pattern, i just see 1

@Hori_Ado

Your paintjob looks great, but the dark colour of the spring/summer version of plane tree is wrong. It should be black/green instead of black/brown which would be correct for the autumn version.

@jaumeortiz4767

Hi there!. Although black green is the common shade for the third main color in German spring version camos, if you look at the reference image you'll notice the darker blotches are more black brown color. That's why I used it, trying to match the example colors.. Thanks for your comment.

@Hori_Ado

@@jaumeortiz4767 The thing is I don't need to look at referrence photos since I own several original SS camo items and trust me, the darkest colour is black green.

Very helpful tutorial. Camo is a bit daunting. The background music was distracting and unnecessary.

Hello Giuseppe! Please take a look at this our Youtube channel, we have several videos explaining how to paint faces (54mm, woman, man, etc). If you need help, just let us know! :)

@carabus0354

I am confused, why when you produce a paint set for this camo you don't use it? Vallejo Model Color Waffen SS Camouflage Acrylic Paint Set has different colours/shades as well, why would you not promote that? I brought it.

Hi! Check first video of camouflage series. I painted palm pattern with the wss set colors. I thought it would be nice to give some alternative colors and mixes to paint another spring colors pattern getting a more faded look. Thanks for the feed back!
