Gimp 2.6 (The GNU Image Manipulation Program) and a web image you like - as long as you have a printer (and a bit of time) should be easy

Don't use stencils. You'll have real problems with hard edges that will ruin your camo look.

You've got a couple of options to a good camo finish. One is to simply spray freehand, with enough diffusion to give you a nice fade on the edges. Apply a khaki green basecoat, and build the other colours on top as required. Avoid moving your arm in a straight line.

The other way is to again, apply a green basecoat, but this time go for a quick walk for your stencils - an old pine branch, the odd bit of fallen foilage, all make great disposable masks for you to spray over that will give you a nice camo effect.

Hope that's of some help!

Use real leaves and stuff. If you've seen shooter the film when he is spraying his refle he uses real leaves and stuff it it looks good.

His templates aren't all that - with care you could do much better - IF you can match his painting skills

A mate of mine recently camouflaged a rifle with a kit from this company.

The same stuff should work just as well on a pc case, good variety of colours too
