Yeah - just to remind people - this IS a WORK IN PROGRESS lol

There are three colours in the camo so far...
Considering adding white n black dots also, but will decide that once the rest is all done

To touch on what Thunderhawker was saying about camo in the automotive industry, I know Cadillac here in the states uses a white/black checkerboard pattern with horizontal and vertical checks on parts and diagonal checks on other parts, it isn\'t the most attractive pattern, but it gets the job done. I actually saw the new XLS about 6 months before release at one of the dealerships I work for and no one could discern any of the details of the car because of the \"camo\" they use.

I do think thats the general idea of camo.

Does the car look any good otherwise, cause maybe they WANT to hide what it looks like.

Now that the car has been released, yes it is a nice looking vehicle, but before retail release, they did not want anyone to be able to see new features, general angles and shape of the car, the pattern they use did exactly that. You wouldn\'t think about the inability to see detailed lines on a car just because of the paint job, but wow does it work.

About the purpose of camo though, it depends on the situation. How would any kind of camo hide a 12 foot tall metal walker with silvery guns, bright yellow and black cables and an open cockpit with a visible driver? I would think the general shape being broken up be the paint design would be more suitable for the situation. It isn\'t like you could blend that thing into the woods and surprise attack someone with it. lol

bummer i was kind of rooting for the pink camo
oh well lol
when i first saw this i had always pictured the sentinel going the other way oops
good job
the pilot and details are suuuuper.
what might also help is adding some more colors to the base to break that away from the sentinel.
good luck :beer:
