Camouflage?

[Blockburn]

I've been trying to make some minifigs with camouflage uniforms for a while, but i haven't quiet figured out how to go about it. Should I apply a camouflage pattern to the decal which I plan on sticking to the minifigs, and then paint the rest of it, or should I start by painting camouflage onto the minifig and then put on a clear decal that has the various non-camo parts (ammo pouches, medals, etc), or something else? I've never customized a minfig beyond mixing and matching existing parts, so does any one have an idea as to which method I should use?

How are these? Designed them myself.

While this isnt the camo scheme I was looking for (Erbsenmuster), I do really like it. But, if I could use your decals for the legs and arms as templates, I could probably be able to make it myself.
