(...) Is there a need to prefer one over the other? There are so many camos in the real world and the more represented the better. Tim (18 years ago, 14-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Well, they are clearly map tiles, so that would have been the logical conclusion for me to make. However, big dynamic displays like that are useful or at least conceptually popular in that sort of application. The idea is to integrate data (...)

Jim, (...) My bad - those are meant to be maps hanging on the wall, but if they look like "digital maps so to speak" that's cool too! (...) Something like that, yes! (...)

  Re: Rhino Armored Vehicles
 
Ted, Thanks for posting those, I know I've seen them before, but while I almost wish I could say that naming my MOC the Rhino was a subtle nod to Warhammer, the Warhammer Rhino had slipped my mind. I'd like to do something more spacey some time, and (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Re: Rhino Armored Vehicles
 
Tim, (...) Thanks for the kind words. The Commander and the Protector are pretty much the same with minor differences on the outside, and then obviously different interiors. Any ideas of how to spiff up a command vehicle like this? I don't want to (...) (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.military)

  Re: F-15E Strike Eagle
