Reference(s) for Imperial camo?

By Plainsman, in X-Wing

I have some ideas for doing Imperial ships in camo! However, Im wondering if there are any pics out there of Imperial camo for reference?

Otherwise, Im tempted to use some German WWII armor camo patterns!

Thanks for any help!

Not sure of any Imp camo.. I like your idea though.. sounds perfect.. lol

Revenge of the Sith is about as close as I can get:

I'd have a good look at World War II Luftwaffe patterns if that inspires you. The only problem with using a WW2 pattern is it's going to be recognisable instantly. You need to try coming up with something unique. Remember the background colour is going to be black (space) but some random shapes or stripes the colour of asteroids could work. Subtlety is the key. Get a cheap little kitset of some aircraft and try different options on that.

I'm tempted to do some X-wings in this:

StealthX-EGW.jpg...but it could work on a flight of TIE Fighters or Interceptors just as well. You're looking at two to three close shades of grey with a light grey to disrupt it (for the small flecks). A subtle deep red or blue or green for a splash of toned down squadron markings, and there you go.

Or for something completely different:

Just make it unique.

Yesterday, those images were MUCH bigger, like wallpaper sized... You could see the details and the coloration in their leggings/pants.
