Liabiilty! If they sell you a RTR hy-rail, and you do something stupid, they could get sued BIG-TIME. Instead, they sold you a truck with "inoperable residue parts not removed" and what you do with it is your problem. If you buy a hy-rail from any railway, they will generally make it no...

You've just proven the analogy correct. The stripes break up the outline.

Camouflage only works at a distance. The squares which are so clear to you at 20 feet become blotches at 200 meters. In the article, he showed that pattern doesn't require straight lines to be obvious. The objective is to break up the outline, which is how we identify things. The "Dual Tex"...

The original idea was for the pattern to break up the outline when viewed through a tank commander's periscope. It would be interesting to see this in a long telephoto shot, out against wildlands.

Now what you need are some very large chess men with magnetic bases . . .

Okay, those pics tell me what I needed to know. I've never thought of the MUTT as a "babe magnet," though . . .must be a Pinoy thing. But I thought that it was a national law that all jeeps in the RP had to be bright red with lots of chrome and room in the back for 50 . . ? ;)

I read his article in one of the trade magazines on what he called "Duo-Tex," and regret losing my photocopy of the article. It was an excellent basic primer on camouflage and made his case very well.

Anyone got good pics of an M151 with desert camo? That's most appropriate for one in Nevada . . .and I'm really gonna make people wonder when I put on the Nevada Test Site Museum license plate. Go look at it, and you see that the word "museum" is all but invisible from 20 feet away, so all...

Pics will come after I get it in hand. I dunno about the brown plate, it seems too even to be sunbaked (if you know what I mean) and the add-on strip is still a nice, crisp black. I'll look closer when it's in hand. What did they do to mount an MG with the ROPS? Does it stick up far enough...

I used to have a 1968 Ford A1, then I has a divorce and a vindictive wife who didn't realize how much she really could have made on it. Now I have made the deal on an A2, not too far from where I am working on this contract (California). I don't have all of the details, I checked it out and...
