AT-AT Color Scheme

for something of that size one would imagine that a camo pattern  would be almost worthless but as far as making it hard to see through gun sights, you could paint it up in a digital pattern much like the US Armies new pattern or the Marine Corps digital pattern. The only difference between the two patterns is the army one doesn't have any black in it because it fades fast.

   If you recall the movies, remember when they show the shots through the binoculars in Empire ( and other shots), remember how pixel like the scene was. just a thought.

Ithink it would look great with this scheme in the colours that are on the picture. Black, White, Grey & light grey.

Or what about Tiger stripes or cover it with light brown hair and make it look like a camel 

Thoguth I'd throw this one out there.

A somewhat subtle camo scheme.

Thanks for the great ideas.  The target practice ATAT would be great, but I think it would almost be cool to get the Hoth Battle scene and make those ATATs target practice.  Then I thought change that scene to a desert and we can see how some of the Imperials blew off steam on Tatooine.  Which then got my mind thinking about the original ATAT which would be cool in a desert type theme so popular with the tanks these days.  Has anyone put the Hoth Scene together?  What scale is it in?

Now that would be cool! I like CM's idea to though.

SteelSnail makes a very valid point. If you look at the destroyers and other warships during WWII their camouflage was designed to disrupt their shape and make them appear like smaller or multiple crafts. 

Remember some of the OLD Battle tech camo-schemes. How to camo a 12 metre tall robot, some of them had the lower half in camo and the upper half in sky-blue or similar.

How about marking it up as a bombing range target for the TIE Bombers?  There's a billion different ideas you can use, and there's nothing wrong with cutting loose with those ideas.

Just have fun with it!

It's SF so ANYTHING goes, IMHO.

If  I recall correctly the AT-AT's in all the movies were a light-grey not white, but than most of their walkers and space-ships are either a light-grey or a blue-grey.

Go with a camo-scheme and feel free to mix colours to suit an ALIEN environment like blue and purple, yellow and green, etc.

The way I see it the SW Universe goes way beyond what we see in the movies.

HTH.

P.S.: I have seen even a pic of an AT-AT done up in German WWII markings in a pic(methinks it was on FSM too)
