Isn’t it interesting and ironic that we spend so much time thinking and planning how to make our builds more visually interesting … when that is the exact opposite of what their crews would want to do? They were all about blending in to the surrounding terrain!
So does this mean the Ultimate Armor Model would be nearly invisible? From certain angles … maybe!
huh???..I think you are thinking way too much…time to get back to building…
hah, i always went with the most accurate depiction possible…
Brumbles have you been leaving hte plastic cement with the lid off for 10 hrs straight again? [:P]

I would think that real tankers, and modelers, have somewhat different goals and aims in mind. I guess I can see the irony of it, but it isn’t something non-sensical. We use tricks of paint and light to make as close a resemblence to reality, while the real deal aims to do something alltogether different.
lol yeah I would think that ideally any combat vehicle, if possible, would be invisible.
hmmmmm…if we pull off the invisible model, how would we judge the work? LOL
Or…would that be the judge???..the more invisible it was, the better the model???
okay, my head is starting to hurt…going over to the philosophers’ website to discuss exostentionalism…
lol I say we judge it by the most invisible tank accompanied by the most convincing argument that there really never was a tank, and that it is a metaphor for our perceived will for power [:P]
Sounds like madness, an invisable tank but didnt you lot invent an invisable plane??? Stealth.
