Cool. Where did you get pink tap dancing elephants?
Currently, I've got a generic DSII army (mostly GEV) painted in animal
camoflage. I didn't want my tanks to be un-camo'ed, but I didn't want
them to disappear into the terrain, either. So I've got Tigers (heavy
tanks), Cheetahs (fast assault tanks), Leopards (DFFG tanks), Hornets
(VTOLs), Zebras (APCs), Skunks (missile artillery), Giraffes (artillery
with long tubes that look like necks), and a Cow (giant mech painted
like a Holstein - alternately referred to as "the Gateway Mech" and
"Ogden"). Oh, and my command vehicle doesn't really fit the paint
scheme - it's painted like a brain.
