I sometimes worry about showing folks around here things like these... :thumbsup:









But they are great ideas for that next paint scheme! More here:

I wouldn't mind doing a Bf-109F or Fokker Triplane  along the lines of this sharpie marker decorated E46 BMW:

Note:  Some verbal content not suitable for minors.  Very cool effort on the Bimmer, however.

The guy used this Lambo for inspiration:

I think you could get a great scheme out of that pattern of big dots - just get a whole hell of a lot of actually round roundels and pattern the plane with those! Then it could be in the markings of many countries! Possibly this could be used for UN missions  :thumbsup:

The multi coloured dots look a bit like the digi-cam version of the WWI lozenge camo :wub:

You really need a new wardrobe!

Something like the real world camouflage experiments by McClelland Barclay?  The principle was similar to dazzle pattern camouflage on ships, to confuse an enemy gunner as to the distance & heading of the aircraft.  They weren't successful, but wow, would it make a funky model, especially if you factored in the colours from those clothes!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Wow! Tribal tats on a Brewster Buffalo!

I might just have to try that look out on something or other!

Just like that folio sized book on tropical reef critters with dazzling colour photos that I recently borrowed from the local library, this is dangerously inspirational.

Thankyou.  :thumbsup:
Whatever.
