I always wanted to paint a four storey tall walking robot in dazzle camo.

Since I am dumb as a rock, I thought it would be a good idea AND tried to do it myself, not realizing what I was getting myself into.

Now, after taking several critical hits to my sanity, I can finally show the results of my work. I vowed to myself I would never paint another mech in this scheme. I may be open to expand this to a lance/reinforced lance level with some plastic vehicles. I'm open to suggestions.

Wow, lovely work!

**youwashock**

Pretty freakin' impressive!

**Nevelon**

That’s crazy good. Bravo!

**Flinty**

That scheme. Gives me a headache to look at. Mission accomplished

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Exceptional work and dedication.
And it does work in the context of the urban terrain you placed it amongst.

**Manu Miniatures**

Great idea, would love to try something similar.

Painting camouflage is a tricky thing. Good camo should disturb shapes and point of painting minis is to emphasize them.

rofl... same effect on me, good job.
you cant shoot it if you dont want to look at it

you really should have included the mech in your terrain pics for comparison though

I can't see anything it's shape is broken against the horizon! Absolutley great work, it must've been maddening lol.

Just painting some hazard stripes onto a boltgun or a power fist gives me fits. Amazing work!

**Shadox**

This is incredible!
I always wanted to do that for an assault mech as well. I'm not so sure anymore...

**Soul Samurai**

Very well executed!

**ShadowsAndDust**

Most impressive.
