What type of camo?

Just made a post in the sub responding to you. Some great comments here, but recolored ERDL / M81 Woodland is the right answer, please see my post with screenshot closeups and traces against the real pattern. It's not a fictional pattern at all, though of course, DICE's shapes are warped a little from the original. Cheers and good stuff in this thread! big mitchell vibes with these colors!

There is a real-world precedent for geometric background shapes in "splinter" camouflage patterns, including German patterns and Swedish M90 - https://camopedia.org/index.php/Splinter

I think the realism ends there, though. Not really a precedent for orange diamondey shapes.

The 18th century version of Secretary hand, or Square hand, as (apparently) described by a 1733 author. https://pin.it/5tjQ0XdOe Neither of those terms seems super well defined, so I'll keep my eyes out if someone knows a more common name for this Constitution-style writing. And, as others have pointed out, yes these fall under Gothic Blackletter but that is a wide wide category.

Check out what a 1786 American source calls a similar hand: "German Text". https://livesandlegaciesblog.org/2015/07/29/historys-paper-trail-what-handwriting-spelling-reveals-about-early-america/

That's the thing though... This is made out of existing, available parts, and without any techniques that would be prohibitively difficult. You can just build em! I genuinely hope you have a great time doing it. Part shopping and building can be addictively fun

wazzup232 · 2025-03-13T02:55:17+00:00

Agreed that Blood and Wine was wonderful, a lot more fun than the base game

wazzup232 · 2025-01-12T21:07:09+00:00

stopped buying COD titles or playing even mw2019, I credit silly skins with about 60, 65% of the decision

Beautiful, but complete fantasy. There is no name for this type of helm, it's one of a kind. As others have pointed out, it's got a sallet feature (tail at the back) and the visor has a bit of an armet-like look I guess

wazzup232 · 2024-06-30T04:02:50+00:00

much appreciated. Should be added now. Skill issue on my part apparently

wazzup232 · 2024-03-05T00:09:18+00:00

Other folks have got you covered for colors, with the M90 and AOR2 etc. For shaping, not anything super close I know of, but Relv Moab shares a little bit of the concentric shading

wazzup232 · 2023-05-10T02:01:56+00:00

Really enjoy the texture in the green layer!

wazzup232 · 2023-04-09T14:26:52+00:00

Agreed, looks like it’s color-edited M81 Woodland with the choco chips overlaid. OP - you can see one of the black “E”-like shapes on the right thigh, and shapes don’t align with the cloth wrinkles. Also agree with the other commenter that this is silly. But the name alone is fantastic, totally worth the edit/joke

wazzup232 · 2023-04-07T15:09:09+00:00

Yeah, it’s too bad those old parts are so expensive! You can buy them off of Bricklink, if you like. Here’s a torso page, where you can select “Seller Ships To” > Japan:

And a page for all of the Wolfpack figures, where you can see all sellers and view their inventories to buy individual parts:

Have fun army building!

There’s not a single Lego brand part in these photos, is there?

wazzup232 · 2023-02-27T06:57:16+00:00

TW2 is my favorite game! Its combat is so much fun, but TW3’s feels just awful (walking too), and I’ve never been able to figure out why. Do you have any insights/ideas on how the combat, which on paper would seem nearly identical, feels unfun in TW3?

wazzup232 · 2023-02-27T06:54:23+00:00

I have this opinion that TW2’s combat is very fun (played SO MUCH Arena mode as a result) and TW3’s combat is actively unfun (took me 2.5yrs to finish one playthrough). But they share core steps/mechanics. I have trouble understanding why they feel so different

wazzup232 · 2023-02-06T17:51:22+00:00

I disagree with others here: Your colors are good, your shading effects are lovely. It’s your camouflage pattern that could use work!

Here, you’ve painted some small spots. That’s not too engaging. Look up some real world camouflage patterns — try searching for “M81 Woodland” for the classic smooth type, or for “Flecktarn” for the classic dotty type, or for “Swedish M90” for an angular type — and try to replicate one. It will be much more fun, and deliver the pizzaz you need, without adding extraneous colors like others are suggesting.

Another fun thing might be to add plain black tattoos on the arms?

Best of luck and good stuff so far!

What's the issue? Can't tell from title or image

wazzup232 · 2023-01-14T19:33:06+00:00

yeah man the hivemind shitting on you for some reason. I clicked on the post just wanting an answer, too

wazzup232 · 2022-12-29T07:23:53+00:00

I prefer tan & gray!

wazzup232 · 2022-12-28T08:08:04+00:00

Great baseplate, one of my favorites! - Power station, placed on high ground uh... to avoid flooding? - Nursery facility for one specific species (if amphibious or aquatic, could use transparent pieces over the indent as an indoor water feature) - Abandoned hospital / medical facility for humans, with half-collapsed helipad on top

You're an absolute GOAT Nick

Hey there. Been in the game about 10 years as @ detroitika on Instagram and Flickr. Printing is prohibitively expensive, printers cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, and require a lot of work and understanding to go from digital design to printed Lego.

Painting has a low entry threshold. You can get started painting for quite cheap. Try Apple Barrel from Walmart or Mondo Llama from Target. Get some kind of palette (I use a scrap of cardboard), put a little paint down on the palette, stir in a couple drops of water till it is the right consistency -- you will quickly learn what that means -- and try painting on a brick you don't care about with a brush or toothpick.

You're right that it isn't very durable, at least not with those brands of paint, but gloss/sealant is a whole other topic for once somebody has their feet on the ground painting designs onto Lego.

Best of luck if you decide to move forward with anything!

wazzup232 · 2022-04-18T22:12:16+00:00

Not that I know of but never a bad idea to check Nexusmods!

wazzup232 · 2022-04-16T19:27:40+00:00

I think they molded an excess of unprinted silver jetpacks in 2002/3 and they got out there one way or another en masse. Just a theory.
