Montarvillois Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi, I am presently finishing a customized 1/55 scale battletech madcat. I plan to paint in in urban camouflage scheme, jagged squares or triangles not the organic type of colour blend. Can someone point me to a website that shows examples of camouflages of that type ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechmaster Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I heard about a really good camouflage website... but I couldn't find it. Sorry, but the old gags really are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty gorgon Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Very late... but here are my 2c: Berlin Brigade A quote from the article: "...Following acceptance and encouragement by his Brigade Commander, the opportunity arose to show it to the Corps Commander. He came to Berlin to see for himself. Basically, he said "I can't see your f*****g tank, must be a good idea" The paint scheme was adopted by the squadron and subsequently by all British forces in Berlin. Each vehicle was to be painted to the same pattern; the same size blocks of colour and pattern would make it harder to determine the strength of the British Forces because they all looked the same..."

bsu legato Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You could always try http://www.missing-lynx.com for tons of AFV reference. Personally, i'd love to see some mecha done up in a german "ambush" scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty gorgon Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Yes! Not excactly Macross mechas, but I have a nice 1/35 set of Melusines from Maschinen Krieger in german ambush scheme!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerwalker Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Yes! Not excactly Macross mechas, but I have a nice 1/35 set of Melusines from Maschinen Krieger in german ambush scheme!!! mighty gorgon: those Berlin brigade schemes are perfect for a Madcat. And it should be easily done with some masking tape (juast straight lines) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Interesting, painting them all the same. For ships, the rule is to always paint them differently, not the same. The idea being that if lighting conditions are right so that a particular camo scheme becomes rather visible, the other ships in different schemes won't be visible. If they're all the same---if you can see one, you can see them all. (Almost all camo designs work incredibly well under a particular lighting condition--none work well in all, most schemes go for "decently well under most conditions" but are always inferior to a scheme designed for a specific set of conditions---but when they're out of their element, they'll be VERY visible, better than no camo at all) Best example: the best anti-sub camo is the very worst for general anti-surface.
