I think you have too much camo net on, especially on the rockets - that is a manticore, right?

Fun and Fluff for the Win!

Yeah it is a manticore. The rockets will have it too but not as much to offset all the camo

Well my first thought is that you need to change the netting so that it looks more like square sheets draped over a vehicle and not like it was attacked by a spider.
But I realize that the reason it looks kind of funny is that your netting isn't really netting, if you want a good camo netting effect use gauze bandages, preferably a guaze wrap it looks much better on this scale of vehicle.

Outside the DarkTower, amongst the roses.

At first glance to me I thought it had the obliterator virus.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

Actually I have a lot expierance in camming up vehicles in real life, so here are some helpfull suggestions;

1) Keep the netting off the tracks. To much for the net to snag on, and believe it or not, a sucked in cam net can actually cause a tank to throw track , which sucks hard.

2) Keep it off the parts that would traveres or fire regularily.
In this case, the manticore's elevating rack, but in the Leman Russ'es case, it would be a turret. Again, sucking in a cam net can gum up the works.

3) Unless this vehicle is being parked and never expected to move, even in a n emeergancy, don't bury the drivers sight and Crew commanders sights.

4) If your are positioning it to be stationary, then the best thing to do would be less cam net drapped on the vehicle. Instead you can use small strwas or plastic tubs and create cam poles( And Spreaders), and create an cam-umbrella to protect it from aerial attacks.

5) Keep it off the engine and exhaust. Cam nets are flamable.

If you desperately want to do a cammed up vehicle(S), use Google Images and look up things like Mounted Observation Posts, Air Defense, Ambush positions, etc.
