The Demo that everybody loves now with better pictures. The camo suits the theme of the ship (that is to say an evil little bastard waiting for you to get close, pouncing out, torpedos away).

-edit- Now with updated photos and good quality action shots!

(saved for updates, better shots)

That looks like a slightly muted version of the US Navy blue and gray digi-cam, nice choice! With Memorial Day coming up, I salute your choice.

So you have one Gladiator...

Yet there are two bases.....

Odd.

You used a stencil? How did you secure the stencil to the ship?

I free painted it. It felt terrible doing it initially, as if attacking it with no plan but that is actually fine for camo.

Stencils are very hard to make/use given it's shape.

I started with pretty much straight lines of different paints, grey, white, black. It didn't look like much. Imagine obvious streaks everywhere. If you look at the front left point you will see two prominent grey lines. It was that just all over. I took those obvious streaks away. To do it I would simply paint a smaller streak of a different colour running across it like an intersection. Repeat in small actions to give the small square dots.

Once the streaks were all over the next step was partially filling in lines by painting over small sections with another streak of an alernate colour. I picked a section, used incrementally smaller lines to give the patchy/digital appearance. It wasn't technically hard, it was purely about making the feel right and the pattern acutally effective.

If doing Camo I recommend letting it set and stepping back to see how it looks from play distance. If the pattern works you will know straight away. Getting this perspective is important.

wha. . .

Haha I added a bit more to that initial statement. Yes that is pretty much how I felt. I swear it was giving me such a headache I just started scribbling paint on it in revenge for hours of failed stencils. Yes it felt like I was going to ruin it.

I probably went over the whole thing 5 times each pass making individual sections smaller each time. That gives it the detail.

To further clarify you are not looking at a carefully painted pattern. You are looking at lines, crossing lines, crossing lines until obvious continuous streaks are gone.

Okay that's better. Updated higher quality pics and some combat as well. Take that ISD II and get Targeting Scrambled whilst you're at it

Its a textbook show of Disruptive Pattern Camo. Well done indeed.

Its not difficult to do, per say - it is mostly just crossed lines, and variable opacity that blends the colours together - the important thing is to completely disrespect the lines that exist and just add the colour.

As someone who painted 4 colour camo on close to 200 Imperial guard troopers - I know it can make you a little bit crosseyed as you're doing it - but you certainly nailed the effect in the end.

Where is it? I don't see it
