the shed is in a small yard,if by far away you mean i am 3 meters from it at most if the angle allows a direct view and usually if you can see it you can touch it.

i was thinking a quite "immersive"experience unless one is in a plane(we get quite a few of those including the low level lancaster with hurricane outriders combo)or the day trip balloons which often float past

i recon it will take a couple of hundred "break lines"on each of the 2 sides i can see and maybe 20 for the roof.

Dazzle for the sides but paint the roof so that from the air it looks like a surface to air missile launcher ;-)

They make my eyes hurt. Grow bindweed up it. You won't be able to see it by June.

with a bit of effort i could make em think they are far taller than they are and keeping the descriptive text just adds to the jollyness

unless i get some harm to my sorry butt

eg

i know that is a 3d interior but as a 2d image on the front it might work rather well ,tis busy enough to work at close range

As you have to live with it in a small yard, I would go for a dull brown. You will give yourself migraine with most of those. Mind you, some were so well camouflaged they looked like bunches of flowers.

Always remember that the 3 metres you are away from the shed is a 2 day trip for a slug, so if you can make the shed dazzle for the slug, your stored veg may be safer from attack!

i just bought two rather nice pot grown sutton broad beans from the local park keepers ,they came with a free slug which managed 250m in about five mins

it did the last 20 in under a second

I hope you have neutered that slimey friend; is there a slug racing team anywhere near you, you have a potential champion!
