Bush Tucker Man:

--- Quote from: "Skibum346" ---Back in the 80's when I were a young single squaddie... the British Army in Germany experimented with an urban cam for armour (Tanks). Don't think it took off but it was a bit like a cubist painting... overlapping rectangles of various kinds.

Can't find an example of it sadly.

Disrupted Landie

Yeah... WWI batleships were painted in "Dazzle" which tended to be black and white in large and diverse stripes. See the pics for examples.

Which influenced 'Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark' for an album (had a similar design on the cover, if memory serves me correctly?

('Dazzle Ships')

Bishops Finger:
Alpenflage..... :twisted:  :roll:  :wink: Arguably the lairiest camo to be seen at a Jeep event... :shock:
