Dazzle camouflage is pretty neat looking and I've always dreamed of building a WWI-era ship model and painting in dazzle camo. Here is some more cool pictures:

Imperial War Museum has launched a range of "dazzle" goods recently.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275755.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275755.page GMT Re:Razzle-Dazzle Camo....

With the advent of 1/8" and 1/16th" Tamiya masking tape, this seems like a good time to make your dream a reality if you want to go for the "array of lines" one.

They must have been something to see in person.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275819.page GMT Re:Razzle-Dazzle Camo.... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275822.page GMT Re:Razzle-Dazzle Camo....




It seemed fitting for a 'land battleship' to use that type of pattern.

That hurts to look at. But then again, I suppose that's entirely the point. It's hard to put a torpedo into a target when you can't tell which way it's going, how fast its moving, which side is facing you, or just what the heck it is supposed o be.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275868.page GMT Razzle-Dazzle Camo....
I think tanks had a similar pattern during that time too.

I love obnoxious paint schemes haha.

Cool stuff. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7275940.page GMT Re:Razzle-Dazzle Camo....

Did someone say MKIII in Dazzle-inspired cammo?

I did something similar with my EotBS, except I had white with red 'sun rays'

see my gallery for w.i.p. of my battleships.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277267.page GMT Razzle-Dazzle Camo.... SF wargamers.

I ought however to add that it wouldn't work in spaced age or moderns combat.

Dazzle works by making it difficult to judge speed and bearing by eye. This matters a lot of you have to judge where to aim a torpedo, but doesnt make the blindest difference if you have a laser pointer or matter much for something with comparatively little deflection like a rocket launcher or cannon..

Dazzle however has the opposite effect to normal camoflage and makes the target easier to see, just confusing to interpret. Hence why it was used for warships in the era prior to modern computer guided munitions. It wouldn't work now and was never relevant for tanks.

Don't let that stop you using Dazzle for your IG, Ogre or SF starship miniatures though. Its a great excuse to make original and distinctive colour schemes while maintaining some logic to them.

For Dystopian Wars it would probably work and be a practical idea, its very popular for KoB paint schemes]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277313.page GMT Re:Razzle-Dazzle Camo.... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277318.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277318.page GMT Razzle-Dazzle Camo.... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7277369.page GMT Razzle-Dazzle Camo....

Maybe if there aren't also systems designed to confuse computer targeting, heat detecting, or laser guided systems in place.

In the far future, those things will exist. Meaning manual and unguided targeting will still be important.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7288111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7288111.page GMT Razzle-Dazzle Camo....

I thought that the wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7288182.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/618879/7288182.page GMT Razzle-Dazzle Camo....
