dyowelb Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 (edited) Hi Guys/Gals, I need your help. I got my new kit from Dat Pinche Haro! and I'm planning to paint it with a different color (I already have black and white INgram 1), but I don't have idea what would be a nice color to use. I tried khaki but I didn't like the result. So here I am asking for your suggestions, what would be a good color scheme. Any suggestion is appreciated, Thanks, d Edited November 28, 2004 by dyowelb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF19 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 OD or Woodland camoflauge. Take a GIjoe sniper rifle and make it a SWAT Sharpshooter labor. Can you imagine a 76.2x510 mm shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zentrandude Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 go very high vis. bronze with yellow highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montarvillois Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 How about a very high visibility yellow like an ambulance . Modify it so it has an additional winch, rescue transport capsule on the back etc... Or maybe red like a firetruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 (edited) I've always liked the Titans (from Zeta Gundam) dark blue. Although a bit off-message, apparently one day one of the designers was working on an Ingram and a fellow worker commented "Its not nice to make jokes like that!", thinking it was a GM...! I've always wanted to see a mecha in Russian markings, too - red stars and the like. Edit: now I think about it, how about a Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds inspired scheme? Patlabor is often compared to it... Another edit: another interesting one to try would be a UK Police force scheme. UK police cars were once known as "jam sandwiches" because of their white and red stripe colour schemes. Here are some suggestions: http://www.ukemergency2.f9.co.uk/police14.htm This is a "jam sandwich": http://www.ukemergency2.f9.co.uk/donx0029.jpg Edit the third: along the same lines, you could try a traditional "British Bobby" look!

HWR MKII Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 (edited) do a copy of the camo pattern the airforce wanted to use before the uniform test failed. do a google search for new airforce uniform and you should find pics of it. its a good urban scheme.

ComicKaze Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I really want a Type-Zero or Peacemaker. Why won't Bandai make a new one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyowelb Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) Thank you guys for the suggestion. I may go with the Fire Engine color scheme. Titanium silver w/ Candy Red or a digi Camo... Edited November 29, 2004 by dyowelb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I really want a Type-Zero or Peacemaker. Why won't Bandai make a new one??? Because Patlabor isn't Gundam. Unless there's some new Patlabor show in the works, don't expect any kits from Bandai anytime soon. I'm still waiting for the day Bandai gives Patlabor the Perfect Grade treatment. How about military green with a dark grey trim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Could always go with the classic olive drab, with a big white star. Has anybody ever tried replacing the rubber "fabric" joint covers on those patlabor models with something like rip stop nylon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyowelb Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) update: Here is where I am right now with this project. It's (the kit) like that for almost a month now and I haven't done any painting because of the weather. So here it is with the rest of the gang. Please note that armored labor is not yet painted. The SD helldiver is not yet in the pic( wohooo.. I got a SD Helldiver, selead on ebay for $25.00 shipped) Edited February 3, 2005 by dyowelb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress_Maximus Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Agreed do Kanuka proud. You can also try to color it the scheme used in the second movie. Or you can use military colors too. Either way show whatever you do. *shouts Kannuukkka!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the final product is at least going to look somewhat different, because right now it reminds me more of Ultraman than anything else.

Jolly Rogers Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 It's from the New OVA, basically bonus episodes that came on the LDs when the TV series was released on home video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Wouldnt it be better if the Patlabor SWAT would be using the Reactive armor? I mean SWAT guys where armor right? As for the Sniper rifle idea, that would be cool, but I think a sub machinegun like the H&K MP5s would do nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
