"Children of Men" Digital Camouflage

I recently re-watched the movie Children of Men, and really liked the camouflage the "future" British Army soldiers were wearing at the end battle scene. It's been called "digital DPM", but any searches for that yield Viper brand of digital DPM. About the only place I've seen the actual pattern has been an online prop store.

Has anyone ever seen them elsewhere, on eBay, etc? Or does anyone by chance have some in their collection and have it as an item they may consider letting go?

If you've any information or can point me in the right direction, thanks in advance.

Cheers

Years ago I found a company in the UK selling the complete kit, including the field gear and helmet, for something 300 GBP. Seems like thats the same place you found it for sale? Too expensive for me even though I really, really wanted one. I don't collect non-military camo so it was just too much to spend on something not central to my collection.

now this brings up the topic about the camouflage seen in Alien 2 worn by the marines. that was some interesting camo, looked a bit like Polish camo.

The aliens Camo is unique , it is kinda close to Italian desert if you can believe it , there was a thread on ICUS when I was there , I put a couple of links to places that sold it , but I dont know if its still there .

The Alien 2 Camo is called "Frog and Leaf" its pretty interesting if you ask me. There are a few places around that you can buy it.

Hmm why don't we start new section for Hollywood camouflages? So that way we could talk about camo's being used in movies.

I found it on the Prop Store of London's website, and while it's no longer 300GBP, it's still too expensive to justify purchasing at this time. I'd really like to have a set, though. Maybe some time down the road, but not right now.

Cryre made that camo if thats of any help to locate you some...

Hey Alaskan Scout...nice to see you over here too! I had no idea Crye made it, thats a very interesting little tidbit there

I did not know Crye made this pattern. Pretty cool.

So cyre designed camo specifically for hollywood?! This camo is damn effective in urban as seen in film.

Thats what i was told by a guy in the UK...its hear say to take from it what you will....I THINK i read it someplace as well...I read a lot about a lot of stuff so dont quote me but im certain i read it too...

Too late, I already did....oops, and i'm doing it here too!

LOL.....

The price of that set is lower now, but it's probably lower in part because it doesn't come with the full kit like the one I saw had with it.

Here you go, at Prop Store for 195 pounds. http://www.propstore.com/product-Military-Style-Costume.htm

I saw that the other day..they also have the crazy german SS camo from "A Bridge Too Far"

There's lots of crazy-awesome military-patterned camouflage items on the Propstore of London's website. How many are actually legit, I am not sure.
But I do know many are based off (or are modified forms of) existing camo patterns. For example, a set of "futuristic" soldier camouflage used in one of the Terminator movies is a German snow camo over-parka (with the little greenish splotches) that has been dyed a shade of grayish-purple. Neat usage of existing resources, I think.

I saw the German pattern also, and thought it was pretty cool.

Speaking of Hollywood camouflages, what pattern was used by James Cameron in Avatar? It looks a lot like some sort of HyperStealth pattern... is it possible someone with the kind of budget a Hollywood director of that calibre has, a private contract for a custom uniform could be obtained?

Im not sure who made it but i saw on the TV that the pattern was made only for the movie...Ive seen some knock off stuff @ the Walmart lately...

WalMart is selling knock-off Avatar camo?
Now I've heard everything!

Walmart, link please.
Also what about the electric urban pant snake plisskin wears in escape from New York?

No link needed..jut have a visit and look around..its on everything form school bags to ghetto urban wear...

OK...since there seems to be more & more "camos" & militaria appearing in the movies....I think a section is OK...so we have put one right under the commercial section in other militaria...NOW fellows..go post in it...

This is a massive necro post -- 3 years later and I still haven't found a set. The last set at Propstore of London slipped through my fingers last year.

Does anyone have any kind of lead on this stuff anymore? I fear that any sets out there have probably been bought up or forgotten in a warehouse somewhere.
