Status: offline 		 Ok i found a few months ago a german tank that was painted in a hard edge camo. I can't remember the tank or what i googled.

The biggest diference was that the pattern was very straight with sharp angles. Mostly stripes. Kind of like abstract paintings i guess.

I think it was a black/grey/white camo but the colors do not matter. I'm just looking for a general idea of the look.

I have been googling for the past hour and i can't find anything like that... Help!

The one i'm looking for was on a tank, 2 tone, very similar to the BOTTOM one on this boat:  http://www.steelnavy.com/images/trumpeter/Yorktown/cv10_camo.jpg

Saddly our english bookstores carry NOTHING like that. Ordering is a must and shipping isn't nice with books.

The one I saw had them going the width of it and even had the angles of the lines changing midway.

It was really cool... And would be great for what I'm planning.

Status: offline 		Maybe if you can provide a little more information from what you might recall ... it might help, like ...
Are you positive it was a German tank you saw?
Was it a modern or older tank?
Was it a real tank, model, or just an artists illustration or maybe one from a game?

One other thing, if you haven't already looked ... if you don't constantly delete your entire browsing history, then try a history search for a link that might still be hanging around to that picture or webpage where you saw it, I've done that plenty of times in the past when I forgot to bookmark something I came across while simply browsing.

I just looked thru my Panzer colors books. Nothing I saw comes close to what Ronan describes. I wonder if it was an experimental paint job, or maybe an imaginary "World of Tanks" type paint scheme.

Status: offline 		I recall it was a model kit painted or a b&w photo. I honestly can't remember since i went through 3000+ photos (yeah i know...).
 
What i remember is what i posted, very dark grey/black paint job with white stripes that broke off at angles.
 
The counter camo reminds me of it but i know it wasn't exactly like that. The one Badass posted is much too modern looking (their wasn't that many angles).
 
I will look more toward that direction but i do remember thinking 'this kind of looks modern but still has a 1945 WWII feel to it'.
 
I'm pretty sure it was a German tank since that's pretty much all i googled. Which tank i can't remember...

Status: offline 		Were the white stripes mostly on the thinner side, thicker, or varying somewhat?

Were they mostly vertical going down, or did they also break horizontally?

Did they break & then keep in the same direction, or kind of have a jagged look to them breaking in a couple directions?

The tank was mostly grey/dark grey with medium thickness white lines that created high contrasted area's. Not that many of them, and they did jag around a bit (maybe 1-3 breaks per line, but not all line).

They gave a bit of a > shape. The lines were going the width of the tank (not the length).

And the lines were pretty  hard edged straight, rather than any rounded, wave, or slightly curvy kind of line at all ... hmmm, I think you will just have to find this picture again so we can see what the %$@# you're going on about ... lol

I'm still searching, it's driving me nuts...

Also wrong color but color doesn't matter just the pattern.
