109 Gustav Posted October 14, 2000 Share Posted October 14, 2000 Okay, why is the camo pattern of that new Daimler armored car on CMHQ called Mickey Mouse? ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Quote: Early in 1944 the camouflage patterns were changed to the system which has now become known as "Mickey Mouse ear". This consisted of large areas of matt black, looking rather like cumulus cloud and formed by painting a number of interjoined circles of varying diameters. Again, the black paint was aplied to all top surfaces, with extensions down onto the vehicle sides, and along the bottom edges of the vehicle. Some vehicles also had individual areas on their sides, formed from three or four interlinked circles."

Gordon Posted October 15, 2000 Share Posted October 15, 2000 The "Mickey Mouse" camo on the Daimler is a little toned down from the real MM-camo due to the way the textures are mapped onto CMBO's 3-D model. It's really more "Mickey Mouse like" than true "Mickey Mouse", but I thought it captured the feel. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
