The idea was that it would work both from a distance and up close. From a distance, the small spots more or less disappear so only the large shapes remain, blending the vehicle into the large shapes of nature that are visible from a distance; up close, nature has much more detail, but the small spots are visible at those distances too and so (hopefully) still blend the vehicle into the terrain.

Sorry mate. The camouflage is too good and I can't see the darn thing! I will have to wait until I get home and have a closer look. By the way what is Ryanair going to fly their planes with now that you have used their elastic band??Comment

Si,
Brilliant - looking good there.
Three tone camo with hissy stick is hard enough, but using laccy bands - you've taken it to a whole new level :smiling::smiling::smiling::smiling:.

Looking very good Si:thumb2:, will look even better once weathered me thinks.Comment

Once weathered should look perfect Si. I have done a couple by SDV w/etch from Hauler I think, years (maybe decades) ago. I'll see if I can find them. I used to date them. It should be interesting to see how old. PaulEComment

Great work Si. The rubber band stamp works so well (one stored up for the future methinks).Comment

Si,
What a good idea, and what a good finish you obtained.
Just tried it on the dog, wife not amused :tired:.

Si, found one dated 9/08, pictures will follow in the Completed Armor section. MikeC, Riotair was one of my worst airline experiences since the US air controllers were fired & I had two near misses in a month. Believe me, standing a DC10 on its' wing in a half snap roll with no warning is not something, as a passenger, I thought of as fun. PaulEComment

Know the feeling well, 18 hours in a Bristol Britannia - RAF Lyneham to Edmonton, Canada, never looked an airline sandwhich in the face again. DC-10 Laker Airways to New York two days after the Turkish Airlines crash, Sitting there reading a novel about an airliner crash, worst and best experience sitting in the back of an RF-4C from Alconbury, getting bounced by F-5E Aggressors over the North Sea, my stomach is still there....Comment

Mike, that camo job is the dog's b*lls! Can't imagine the Missus not liking it. Oooo, Airline war stories, On final into PDX from SFO via UAL one sunny Saturday morning in 2003.
Just cleared the outer markers and the pilot goes balls to the wall hard and fast climbing right turn in a Boeing 737-300. He later on explained as we were going around in the pattern, that the tower had apparently cleared another carrier to taxi out for take off on our runway! OOPS. Other than that , I had over 30 years of incident free air travel with Untidy Airlines. Rick H.Comment

Morning all,
Thank you very much for your support and feedback throughout this build....very much appreciated:smiling4:
I’m calling this done now. It was only meant to be a quick one so I’m not getting bogged down with endless weathering and bases etc..
The last steps where to get the running gear on, decals then a dust coat with some very diluted humbrol through the airbrush....Then a pin wash.
A few bits I’m not happy with like the decals. But hey ho......
Thanks again for all you support and banter
Cheers
