Got bored, desided to paint the single box of stealth team i had bough on impuls god knows when.
Allso, first try at painting them as if they are leaving or entering the stealth field.

That effect of them leaving the Stealth field doesn't really work without you explaining, what it is supposed to represent.

Idk, maybe if you make the transition strip broader and more detailed (I am thinking of thin lines of varying width, with contrasting colors)
And then, get rid of all the contours on the white side and free-hand a slightly distorted image of one of those pinkish bushes that you use on the bases square over some of the features...?
Yeah, I know, I couldn't pull that off either, and I am not sure if it could even work that way, if a master painter tried it.

A bit less of an ambitious plan could be to use a three color camo-pattern with white, pink and grey on the stealth field side. That's at least a recognizable trope instead of just a white suit.

Think i understand you points, will see if i can modify them.

painting the bush will take alot of training.

Nah, I gotta disagree. I look at those and I get what he was going for. If I have a critique, I think the blue strip between the stealth and non-stealth sections could look a bit more varied, in shape, tone or both. Maybe add a lighter blue in the center of the strip for more of an effect?

Nice job!
